Note: Possible merge with Ellen FitzGibbon, although this might create problems of consanguinity. The other Ellen, who married John FitzGerald, 2nd Lord Decies, had Joan Barrymore for a mother. If they are merged, then Ellen's other marriage (to John, 13th Lord Barry) would appear to be a union with her maternal uncle. Possible explanations:

• the two Ellen FitzGibbons were half-sisters of different mothers
• Joan Barrymore was not the sister of John, 13th Lord Barry

Comments welcome from people who know these families well.

Biography

Research Notes

If her 1490 birthdate is correct, then the White Knight who was her father would be Sir John FitzGibbon, 9th White Knight.

See also this text referring to Ellen's husband and eldest son, both named John Barry:^[1]

• "John Reagh Lord Barry married Ellen Fitzgibbon, daughter of the White Knight of Clangibbon, and had three sons — John, Edmond, and James. John was succeeded by his eldest son, John Lord Barry, alias Lord Barrymore, seventeenth Lord of Olethan ... He was born in A.D. 1517 or 1518 ..."
