  Butler - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
From the early years of the 14th century the Ormonde earls, generation by generation, were called to the chief government of Ireland as lords-keeper, lords-lieutenant, deputies or lordsjustices, and unlike their hereditary enemies the Geraldines they kept a tradition of loyalty to the English crown and to English custom.
Earl James was poisoned at a supper in Ely House in 1546, and Thomas the Black Earl, his son and heir, was brought up at the English court, professing the reformed religion.
On the earl's death without issue in 1758 the estates were enjoyed by a sister, passing in 1760, by settlement of the earl of Arran, to John Butler of Kilcash, descendant of a younger brother of the first duke.
