Rory O'More (died 1547)
Rory Caoch O'More (; 1547) was an Irish noble. He ruled as Lord of Laois until his death in 1547 at the hand of his brother Giolla Pádraig O'More. Early life Born about 1515, O'More was the son of Connell O'More (d. 1537) and Gormflaith O'Carroll. His brothers were Lysaght, Kedagh, Giolla Pádraig and Conall. According to historian William Arthur Jobson Archbold, O'More "early acquired the character of a violent and successful chieftain." O'More's first wife was the daughter of Tadhg O'Dunne. In October 1537, O'More was subpoenaed to the king's court in Kilkenny to give evidence. He irreverently tossed the writ into mud and stepped on it, much to the dismay of the official who delivered it. Power struggle Upon Connell's death in 1537, a dispute broke out between Rory, Lysaght, Kedagh, and their uncle Peter, who was the Tanist in line to head the family. Peter seized the title with the support of Piers Butler, 1st Earl of Ossory. The three brothers refused to accept ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lord Of Laois
Lord of Laois is a title that belonged to the historical rulers of the Kingdom of Laois in Ireland. It was held by the O'More family and later the More O'Ferralls who ruled the kingdom. The title is first recorded as existing in 1016, in the Annals of the Four Masters. After the O'Mores were dispossessed of their lands in the 16th century, they left Laois, after 600 years. Despite this, they continued to hold the title.

Moore Family (Carolinas)
The Moore family was an American political family in North and South Carolina during the 18th and 19th centuries. The family is most closely associated with the Cape Fear coastal region around Wilmington. Several members of the family held political positions in colonial North and South Carolina, were senior officers in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, or held high positions in the United States Federal Government during the early years of the republic. The family claimed descent from Rory O'Moore, leader of the Irish Rebellion of 1641, who was descended from Gaelic Irish nobility.
