James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond and 2nd Earl of Ossory (1496 – 28 October 1546), known as The Lame, was the son of Piers Butler, 8th Earl of Ormond and Margaret Fitzgerald, Countess of Ormond. He was created, in 1535, Viscount Thurles, and was confirmed by Act of Parliament, 6 November 1541, in the Earldom of Ormond, as 9th Earl with the pre-eminence of the original earls. His death by poisoning in London remains an unsolved mystery. ==Marriage and issue== About 1520 James joined the household of Cardinal Wolsey, who praised him as a young gentleman "both wise and discreet". In early 1522, it was proposed by King Henry VIII that he marry his cousin Anne Boleyn, who was the great-granddaughter of Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormond. This was to resolve a dispute her father Thomas Boleyn had with James' father Piers over the Ormond inheritance and title: Wolsey himself supported the proposal. The marriage negotiation, came to a halt for unknown reasons.〔Antonia Fraser, ''The Six Wives of Henry VIII'', pp. 121–124〕 He subsequently married Lady Joan Fitzgerald some time before 21 December 1532. Lady Joan was the daughter and heiress of the other great Munster landholder, the 10th Earl of Desmond and his wife Amy O'Brien. James and Joan had seven sons: * Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormond, known as Black Tom (c 1532 – 22 November 1614) * Sir Edmund Butler of Cloughgrenan (1534–1602) * John Butler of Kilcash (before 1546 – 10 May 1570) who married Katherine MacCartie, with issue. * Hon. Edward Butler of Ballinahinch, married Mary Bourke who was the daughter of Richard Burke, 4th Earl of Clanricarde and Frances Walsingham. They had a son, James Butler. * Walter Butler of Nodstown * James Butler of Duiske * Piers Butler of Grantstown 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「James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
