	Gerald FitzGerald, 15th Earl of Desmond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Desmond estates were held by a doubtful title, and claims on them were made by the Butlers, the hereditary enemies of the Geraldines, for James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormonde had married Lady Joan Fitzgerald, daughter and heiress-general of James FitzGerald, 10th Earl of Desmond.
		Gerald succeeded to the earldom in 1558; he was knighted by the lord deputy Thomas Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Sussex, and did homage at Waterford.
		In the meanwhile Desmond's cousin, James Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald, caused himself to be acclaimed captain of Desmond in defiance of Philip Sidney, and in the evident expectation of usurping the earldom.

	Living Descendants of the Earls of Desmond
		The idea that the Earls of Desmond were "extinct"--that there were no male heirs--can be attributed to a statement made by James Desmond, the "Sugan" Earl to Sir George Carew after his capture in 1601.
		Thus, was born the myth of Desmond extinction.
		Desmond was trying to present the Queen with a dilemma that would save his life: "Either spare me or put one of these other three undesirables in my place." It was clearly in his interest to limit the alternatives--i.e., not to name others still living who might have claim to the Earldom.
