Notes


Went on a mission to Portugal in 1472. Edward IV genially regarded the 6th Earl as "the goodliest knight he ever beheld and the first gentleman in Christendom", and added that "if good breeding, nurture and liberal qualities were lost in the world, they might all be found in John, Earl of Ormond". In 1475 the atainder was accordingly annulled by the Irish Parliament.
It was during his stay in Ireland from 1461 until about 1465 (when he fled to Portugal), that Earl John took up with Reynalda, daughter of Turlogh "The Brown" O'Brien, King of Thomond, who had died in 1460 the year before John's arrival. During the early 1460s she bore him at least two sons, and at some later point bore him a third, before she was married off to Earl John's kinsman Richard Butler of Glan, co. Waterford (the younger son of Earl John's first cousin Piers Butler of Cahir Castle). By her husband, she had further issue.
