Familiengeschichte Lord of Kerry

Lord of Kerry

Die Lords of Kerry gehörten zum Haus FitzMaurice, einer Seitenlinie der Geraldines. Ihre irische Geschichte beginnt mit Maurice FitzGerald, der 1169 an der anglonormannischen Landung teilnahm. Sein Enkel Maurice FitzThomas begründete im 13. Jahrhundert die Linie von Kerry und Lixnaw. Der Familienname FitzMaurice – „Sohn des Maurice“ – wurde nun zum bleibenden Namen des Hauses.

Von Lixnaw aus herrschte die Familie über Clanmaurice im Norden Kerrys. Sie errichtete Burgen, förderte kirchliche Einrichtungen und verband anglonormannische Rechtsformen mit gälischer Lebensweise. Die Lords wurden in Irland als Mac Muiris bezeichnet. Listowel Castle, im späten 13. Jahrhundert von Maurice FitzMaurice erbaut, erinnert bis heute an ihre Stellung. Auch das Franziskanerkloster Ardfert wurde zur wichtigen Familiengrablege.

Ihre Lage zwischen den mächtigen Earls of Desmond und der englischen Krone verlangte diplomatisches Geschick. Thomas FitzMaurice, der 16. Baron Kerry und Lixnaw, hatte zunächst als Soldat in Mailand gedient. Nach seiner Rückkehr behauptete er Lixnaw gegen Rivalen und eine Belagerung. Irische Annalen rühmten seine Freude an guten Pferden, Wein und Büchern – ein farbiges Bild eines Renaissance-Lords in Munster.

Im 17. Jahrhundert führte die Familie ihre Stellung trotz Kriegen und Besitzverlusten weiter. Thomas FitzMaurice, 21. Baron, wurde 1723 zum Earl of Kerry erhoben. Seine Ehe mit Anne Petty verband zwei bedeutende Vermögen und Namen. Über ihre Nachkommen entstand das Haus Petty-Fitzmaurice; 1784 folgte der Titel Marquess of Lansdowne.

Als Francis, dritter Earl of Kerry, 1818 starb, gingen seine Würden an seinen Cousin Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, dritten Marquess of Lansdowne. Damit lebt die lange Kerry-Linie innerhalb dieses Hauses fort. Ruinen in Lixnaw und Listowel, Familienarchive und der Name Clanmaurice bewahren die Erinnerung an mehr als acht Jahrhunderte irischer Familiengeschichte.
