Baron Dunboyne was a title first held by the Petit family some time after the Norman invasion of Ireland. Dunboyne was part of the Lordship of Meath. The Petit family also had land holdings in Mullingar. In 1227, Ralph Petit became Bishop of Meath. In that capacity he founded a priory of the Blessed Virgin in Mullingar and he endowed this establishment with the townland of Kilbraynan (or Kilbrena) in Dunboyne, along with the rectory of Dunboyne, its tithes and other ecclesiastical revenues.〔() Dunboyne parish history〕 A century later, Thomas Butler, son of Theobald Butler, 4th Chief Butler of Ireland, married Sinolda, heiress of William le Petit. In 1324, Butler was created Baron Dunboyne by prescription. In this way, the Dunboyne properties and titles passed to the Butlers. In 1541, the barony was created by patent in the Peerage of Ireland.〔Mosley, ed. ''Burke's Peerage'' 10th Edition 2003 Vol.1 p.1212〕 The barons are alternately numbered from the early 14th century by numbers ten greater than the number dating to the patent (e.g. the 28th/18th Baron Dunboyne died May 19, 2004). The first baron of this sequence in turn married the heiress to an earlier line of Barons Dunboyne. ==Barons Dunboyne (1324)== Kiltinan Castle, Fethard, County Tipperary, was the seat of the barons until the Reformation in Ireland. * Thomas Butler, 1st Baron Dunboyne (died 1329) * Pierce (Piers)Butler, 2nd Baron Dunboyne (died 08/05/1370) * Thomas "MacPiarais" Butler, 3rd Baron Dunboyne (died 11/07/1370) * William Butler, 4th Baron Dunboyne (died 1406) * Pierce Butler, 5th Baron Dunboyne (died 1415) * Edmond Butler, 6th Baron Dunboyne (died 1419) * James Butler, 7th Baron Dunboyne (died 1445), Seneschal of Tipperary until 1457 * Edmond Butler, 8th Baron Dunboyne (died 1498), Seneschal of Tipperary from 1457 to 1478 * James Butler, 9th Baron Dunboyne (died 1508), Seneschal of Tipperary from 1478 to 1505〔() – Knockelly Castle〕 * James Butler, 10th Baron Dunboyne (died 1538) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baron Dunboyne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
