Lady Joan de BurghLady Joan de Burgh (19) (?-?), who married (1st in 1312) "Thomas Fitzgerald, 2nd Earl of Kildare" (19) (who died in 1359 [although I found another source that says 9 April 1328]). (Her father was Richard [Richard de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster], known as "the Red Earl.") McMurrough, King of Leinster, in a power struggle with other Irish princes, asked some English nobles to come over and help him. Among those were the Fitzgeralds. These newcomers merged with the Celtic mass, intermarried, adopted Irish language and customs. (Maurice Fitzgerald was Justice of Ireland 1229. His descendant, 5 generations removed, was crowned King of Ireland, 1315 at Dundale.) Her son was Maurice Fitzgerald, 4th Earl of Kildare (18) (? - 1390), who married Lady Elizabeth Burghersh (18). Her father was Richard de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster (20) (1259-1326), Lord Justice of Ireland in 1296. Her mother was Lady Margaret de Burgh (20) (or perhaps Lady Margaret de Gynes).
