  1. Originssummary

  2. DEVEREUX • Devereux is a surname found throughout the English and French-speaking world like Carter (from French-English origin) and Daudier (Irish-French). It is of Norman origin, meaning d‘Évreux or "from Évreux" a town in Normandy, France. The name is also found in Wexford, where the Normans first landed in Ireland from Pembrokeshire. • The similar name Devereaux is a misspelling of the surname resulting from the various ways of pronouncing it - the placename is pronounced "Ev-rer" and the surname may be pronounced Dever-o, Dever-oo, Dever-ooks, Dev-erah or Dev-rah

  14. DEVEREUX • The Norman invasion of Ireland was a two-stage process, which began on 1 May 1169 when a force of individual Norman knights landed near Bannow, County Wexford. This was at the request of Dermot MacMurrough (Diarmait Mac Murchada), the ousted King of Leinster who sought their help in regaining his kingdom. • Then on 18 October 1171, Henry II landed a much bigger force in Waterford to at least ensure his continuing control over the Norman force. In the process he took Dublin and had accepted the fealty of the Irish kings and bishops by 1172, so creating the "Lordship of Ireland", which formed part of his Angevin Empire.

  15. DEVEREUX • Invasion of 1169 • After losing the protection of Tyrone Chief, Muirchertach Mac Lochlainn, High King of Ireland, who died in 1166, MacMorrough was forcibly exiled by a confederation of Irish forces under the new High King, Rory O'Connor. • MacMurrough fled first to Bristol and then to Normandy. He sought and obtained permission from Henry II of England to use the latter's subjects to regain his kingdom. By 1167 MacMurrough had obtained the services of Maurice Fitz Gerald and later persuaded Rhys apGruffydd Prince of Deheubarth to release Fitz Gerald's half-brother Robert Fitz-Stephen from captivity to take part in the expedition. Most importantly he obtained the support of the Earl of Pembroke Richard de Clare, known as Strongbow. • The first Norman knight to land in Ireland was Richard fitzGodbert de Roche in 1167, but it was not until 1169 that the main body of Norman, Welsh and Flemish forces landed in Wexford. Within a short time Leinster was conquered, Waterford and Dublin were under Diarmait's control. Strongbow married Diarmait's daughter, Aoife, and was named as heir to the Kingdom of Leinster. This latter development caused consternation to Henry II, who feared the establishment of a rival Norman state in Ireland. Accordingly, he resolved to visit Leinster to establish his authority.

  16. DEVEREUX • Arrival of Henry II in 1171 • Pope Adrian IV, the only English pope, in one of his earliest acts, had already issued a Papal Bull in 1155, giving Henry authority to invade Ireland as a means of ensuring reform by bringing the Irish Church more directly under the control of the Holy See. Little contemporary use, however, was made of the Bull Laudabiliter since its text enforced papal suzerainty not only over the island of Ireland but of all islands off of the European coast, including England, in virtue of the Constantinian Donation.

He was a Cambro-Norman lord notable for his leading role in the Norman invasion of Ireland. • He was the son of Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Beaumont.
