Born at Mountshannon House in County Limerick, FitzGibbon was educated at Harrow School. He joined the British Army, and was present at the Battle of Oporto and Battle of Talavera. At the 1818 UK general election, he stood in Limerick County for the Whigs, winning the seat. He rarely spoke in Parliament, and did not always vote in line with the Whig leadership. In turn, they offered him little support, but he nevertheless held his seat, sometimes describing himself as an independent. He served until 1841, when he stood down. He was appointed Governor of Limerick in 1818, and later served twice as Lord Lieutenant of Limerick.

Earls Of Clare
Earl of Clare was a title of British nobility created three times: once each in the peerages of England, Great Britain and Ireland. The title derives from Clare, Suffolk, where a prominent Anglo-Norman family was seated since the Norman Conquest, and from which their English surname sprang from possession of the Honour of Clare. The Norman family who took the name 'de Clare' became associated with the peerage as they held, at differing times, three earldoms (Gloucester, Pembroke and Hertford). Honour of Clare The death of the young Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, at the Battle of Bannockburn (1314) entailed the break-up of the Honour of Clare, as he and his young wife were childless and the lands were distributed among three co-heiresses.

The lands went into royal wardship while the matter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
