     Edmund le Boteler Earl was born circa 1285 at Carrickfergus Castle, Carrickfergus, co. Antrim, Ireland. He married Joan Fitz Thomas, daughter of John fitz Thomas fitz Gerald 1st Earl of Kildare and Blanche de la Roche, in 1302.²

Edmund le Boteler Earl died on 13 September 1321 at London, City of London, Greater London, England.³
     EDV-20 GKJ-21. He was Justiciar and Governor of Ireland.⁴

; The account in CP concerning Edmund le Botiller, or Butler of Thurles, Governor and Justiciar of Ireland (d. 13 Sept 1321) states the following concerning his marital affairs:

' He m., 1302, Joan, da. of John (Fitz Thomas Fitz Gerald),
1st Earl of Kildare [I.], by Blanche, da. of John Roche, of
Fermoy. He d. ....... ' [1]

There is no reference to any other marriage on the part of Edmund. Rosie Bevan has kindly shared the following fines which on first glance appeared to me to indicate a 2nd wife Joan for Edmund, but which on further analysis does not support this assumption.

However, these fines do indicate that Edmund le Botiller had a son John Butler, or le Botiller, who was married to Joan, evidently a daughter of Nicholas de Sutton and his wife Joan.

"54 York. Quindene of St John Baptist, 8 Edw III 1334. Octave of Martinmas, 8 Edw. III, 1334.
Nicholas de Sutton and Joan his wife, quer., Robert de Kelkefield and Richard de Beauvayr, def., of 6 messuages, 101 acres of land, and 15s. 8d. rent in Estryngton, Nuland, Laxton, Kilpyn, Skelton, Houeden and Balkholm: To hold to Nicholas and Joan and the heirs male of their bodies; remainder to John son of Edmund le Botiller and Joan his wife and the heirs of their bodies; remainder to the right heirs of Nicholas."

"13. York. Quindene of Hilary, 10 Edw III, 1336. Quindene of Easter, 10 Edw. III, 1336.
Nicholas Sutton, quer., Thomas de Brayton, John de Askham and David de Walloure, def., of lands etc in Campsale, Sutton and Askern. Nicholas de Sutton, quer., Thomas de Brayton, John de
Askham, and David de Walloure, def., of 15 messuages, 7 tofts, 11 bovates of land, 6 acres of meadow, 3 acres of turbary and 53s. rent in Campsale, Sutton, and Askern: to hold to Nicholas and the heirs male of his body; remainder to John de Brayton and Elizabeth his wife and the heirs of their bodies; remainder to John le Botiller and Joan his wife and the heirs of their bodies; remainder to the right heirs of Nicholas."

"22 York, Month of Michaelmas, 2 Edw III, 1328 William de Sutton, parson of the chapel of Sutton-in-Holdernesse, quer., Nicholas de Sutton and Beatrice his wife, def., of 3 tofts, 2 bovates of land, and 10 acres of meadow, in Sutton-in-Holdernesse: To hold to William for life, of Nicholas and Beatrice and the heirs of Nicholas, paying yearly one rose at the Nativity of St John the Baptist for all service to them, and doing all services due to the chief lords; reversion to Nicholas and Beatrice and the heirs of Nicholas."

The reference to lands in Campsall, co. Yorks. does appear to suggest some relationship to the Newmarch (de Novo mercato) family of Yorkshire. Another reference noted by Rosie:

" DL 25/2145 : full details
Sibyl late the wife of Simon de Askerne to Joan late the wife of Sir Adam de Newmarch (novo mercato) and Henry de Lascy, Earl of Lincoln: Quitclaim of her right in a messuage in Campsall of which she impleaded the said Dame Joan before the Justices of York: (Yorks, W.
1294 "

This provides evidence either of (1) a wife of Sir Adam de Newmarch subsequent to his known wife Elizabeth (or Isabel) de Mowbray, or (2) that Sir Adam had a son Adam, not previously identified, who was succeeded by Sir Adam's son (younger son?) Roger de Newmarch of Bentley and Campsall.

Should anyone have further information or documentation bearing on the above, that would be most interesting, and appreciated.

Cheers, John

; per van de Pas: "Sometime between 1260 and 1270 there was a disastrous fire at the castle of Woodstock, near Athy in County Kildare, Ireland. It happened so quickly that there was no time to organise a sensible evacuation of the building. In their panic, people ran in all directions to find a way out. They viewed the conflagration from safety, and when it had died down, they took stock. To their horror, they realised that in the confusion they had left behind the infant heir of the family, little John FitzThomas FitzGerald. The servants rushed back to the house, and found his room in ruins; there was no sign of him. Then someone heard a strange sound from the roof of one of the towers. Looking up, they saw a monkey, normally kept chained up as a bizarre pet, carefully holding the baby in its arms. It had taken him out of his swaddling clothes, licked and cleaned him, and wrapped him up carefully.

The baby grew up to become the 1st Earl of Kildare, and to found the illustrious family of the Kildare Geraldines. In recognition of the extraordinary debt which the family and all its decendants owe to that monkey, the Earl fashioned his family crest with two monkeys as supporters, and a third posing triumphant at the top."² He was 5th Baron of Offaly.⁴
