Gerald de Windsor : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gerald de Windsor Gerald de Windsor (c. 1075 - 1135), or Gerald FitzWalter of Windsor, was the first castellan of Pembroke Castle in Dyfed in the late 11th and early 12th centuries, and the Norman chieftain in charge of the Norman forces in southwest Wales. He was the progenitor and eponymous ancestor of the FitzGerald and de Barry dynasties of Ireland, who were elevated to the ranks of peers of Ireland in the 14th century. Gerald's wife Nest ferch Rhys was a Welsh princess, daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr, last King of Deheubarth. Nest is the female progenitor of the Fitzgerald Dynasty, and through her the Fitzgeralds are related to Welsh royalty and to the Tudors (Tewdwrs). The Tudors are descended from Nest's father Rhys ap Tewdwr (Anglicized to "Tudor"). Henry Tudor, King of England, was a matrilineal descendant of Rhys ap Tewdwr. Consequently, Gerald and Nest's offspring, the Fitzgeralds, are distant cousins to the English Tudors. ==Family== Gerald was most likely born at Windsor, then a strategically placed motte-and-bailey fortress on the Thames, hence his sobriquet "de Windsor". He was a younger son of Walter FitzOtho by his wife, Beatrice. Walter fitz Otho was a Norman in the following of William the Conqueror, the first castellan of the strategic fortress of Windsor and Keeper of its Forest, entrusted to him upon its completion by the Conqueror. Gerald had at least three older brothers, William, Robert, and Maurice, and possibly several sisters as well. Gerald's father held extensive lands as tenant-in-chief in Berkshire. Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Middlesex, and Surrey, granted him by the Conqueror.〔(The Domesday Book Online )〕 Upon his father's death after 1100, Gerald's oldest brother, William, inherited the office of Constable of Windsor; his second oldest brother, Robert, inherited Eton, whilst Gerald received the manor of Moulsford and several other estates in Berkshire.〔Rev. E. Barry, ''Records of the Barrys of County Cork from the earlist to the present time.'', Cork, 1902, pg 3.〕 Gerald's family was one of the"service families" on whom William the Conqueror relied for his survival.
