Sir Oliver was a Knight and a Crusader, one of those military enthusiasts who strangely mixed religion and romance; whose exploits form the connecting link between fact and fiction.
He accompanied King Henry II in 1186 in the conquest of Ireland; settled in Galway and his descendents were among the famous "13 tribes of Galway. In 1193 he accompanied Richard Coeur de Lion to the Holy Land and shared his captivity with him.
He was the ancestor of the Irish branch of the family; accompanied King Henry II, in 1186, in the conquest of Ireland.
