<p>Thank you John Anthony for this historical account. I have seen this door in St Patricks Cathedral. Within weeks of this event St Patricks was to be confiscated like all Church properties by decree of King Henry 8th.

<p>Thank you John Anthony for this historical account. I have seen this door in St Patricks Cathedral. Within weeks of this event St Patricks was to be confiscated like all Church properties by decree of King Henry 8th. The Maynooth Fitzgeralds were powerful and related to the Earls of Desmond (also Fitzgeralds) who were the biggest landowning Earls in Queen Elizabeth's Realm. She succeeded Henry 8th, who married Ann Boelyn ( a sister of Black Tom Butler.) The Butlers were treacherous and a continuing war over boundaries was ongoing between the Butlers and the Earl of Desmond. History recounts the Desmond Rebellion was the bloodiest and most protracted of all Irish Rebellions with as many as 500,000 killed or starved in the scorched earth policies of the English invasion forces of the day. So instead of honourable efforts at reconciliation maybe Fitzgerald should have done to Black Seamus what the Queens agents done to the Earls of Maynooth and Desmond.
