In rebellion against King James I
18th Lord Kerry
"The Complete Peerage vol.VI,pp.211-212 :Thomas (18th Baron) revolted against James I of England but later submitted and surrendered his estate, whereupon the King, by patent 16 July 1604, granted him a free pardon and restored his estates, which he confirmed to him and his heirs and assigns forever by further patent, 6 July 1612."
"In 1600, after a siege of three weeks, an English force captured the FitzMaurice castle in Listowel, Co. Kerry. Soon thereafter, Patrick, the five-year-old son of the 18th Baron, was captured and taken to England where he was raised in the English church. This abduction had two significant consequences: Young Patrick was a useful hostage who made unlikely another revolt by his father, the 18th Baron of Kerry. At age five, Patrick was young enough so that he might be transformed into a loyal Englishman if kept in England until reaching adulthood. Patrick would then be acceptable to the English goverment as the next Baron of Kerry. If Patrick ever had an older brother, no record survived in the English archives. "
Thomas (18th Baron) married secondly, in 1615, Hon. Julia Power, daughter of 3rd Lord Power of Curraghmore, and had more children : - Edmund (Col.) who married Hon. Ellena MacCarthy, daughter of Charles, Viscount Muskerry, and had issue. "
- Garrett (Col.), who married Lady Lucia Touchet (d. 16 Dec. 1662), daughter of 2nd Earl of Castlehaven, and had two daughters and a son79 :Richard, a Capuchin friar of the Order called Cyprian, and their Principal in 1689. "
- Katherine, who married John FitzGerald, Knight of Kerry.
"In order to delay an appropriation of money in the Dublin Parliament, Thomas (18th Baron) engaged in a parliamentary dispute with the Lord of Slane concerning who had precedence as the Premier Baron of Ireland. All votes for appropriations were delayed about three months while the genealogical evidence was examined and re-examined. The Parliament eventually decided that the Baron of Kerry was the Premier Baron of Ireland. It was through a 20th century re-examination of the record of that enquiry that the exact relationship of Thomas FitzMaurice, 1st Baron of Kerry, to Gerald of Windsor was rediscovered."
