Uniacke family?

What's the use of all that Uniacke family lineage? Wikipedia is not a genealogy, and Thomas Judkin-Fitzgerald's ancestors and siblings are in no way important for the baronetcy, are they? Huon (talk) 23:39, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

This should explain it.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 07:59, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Huon (& YetiHunter) for this opportunity to justify publication. The use of the Uniacke family lineage is a clearer chronology and context of the Irish Ascendancy and accompanying diaspora. The Protestant Irish Ascendancy led with increasing absentee landlords after the Desmond Geraldine (and other) Rebellions against the Henry VIII, Elizabethan, James I & Cromwellian invasions and plantations to the systemic destruction of what was left of the native Gaelic culture. The FitzGerald-Uniacke-FitzGerald family responses over centuries to the beginning of Modern History dated from the storming of Bastille with the rise of the Rights of Man to the French and American Revolutions and failed 1798 United Irish Rebellion. This included United Irish leader Lord Edward FitzGerald of Leinster House family formerly of Kildare. As far as the Judkin-FitzGerald Baronetcy is concerned which includes genealogical reference to the Desmond FitzGerald Knights of Glin & Kerry, there is also a clear connection with the history of the FitzGerald-Uniacke Lisquinlan and Corkbeg seats to Uniacke-Penrose-FitzGerald Baronetcy.Mifren (talk) 17:04, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Lineage

The Uniacke family are a unique family name considered to be a branch of the Old English Anglo-Norman Kingdom of Desmond Geraldine FitzGerald family from rivalry with the House of Butler. "This ancient family, whose original name was Fitz-Gerald (descended from the County Desmond branch of the great Géraldine family) went to Ireland about the close of the 12th century in the Strongbow invasion from Wales. Descended from

Princess Nest ferch Rhys (died after 1136)

was a Welsh princess of Deheubarth or Nesta of Wales, daughter of South Welsh Prince Rhys ap Tewdwr, grandson of Howell the Good, King of the Britons. The name, a singular one, arose according to tradition from the following circumstance : In the skirmishes which were constantly taking place between the rival houses of Fitz-Gerald and Butler, a service, attended by great danger, becoming necessary to be done, and the commander hesitating whom to employ, an individual was pointed out and recommended to him with this remark, "Unicus est", meaning "He is the only person to undertake this service." "Hence came UNIAK, as the name was formerly spelled." Although some believe that as the Uniak and today Uniac name is linguistically similar to Saint Uniac in Brittany, France that may be the origin in fact hence de Uniak being of Uniac, especially given the naturally first four descents French sounding Christian names, Bernard and Philip. This then begs the question when and how did the Unicus est and linquistically de Uniak French sounding name arrive especially when we consider Saint Uniac is in Brittany, which was the Duchy the illegitimate Duke of Normandy invaded and conquered to gain that 1066 Title William the Conquerer.

The following notices of four descents in the 13th and 14th centuries, are extracted from the records in the Bermingham Tower in the Castle of Dublin :

Bernard de Uniak, Esq. was resident at Cork, in 1305,

as appears by an entry on the plea-roll of that year.

His son,

Bernard de Uniak, Esq. of Youghal, со. Cork, living in 1311,

is mentioned in the plea-roll, and also in the great roll of the pipe, all preserved in that depository of ancient records.

His son,

Thomas de Uniak, of Cork,

son of the said Philip de Uniak, of Youghal, was father of

Thomas de Uniak, of Cork, living there in 1391.

There having been but one family in Ireland of this peculiar name, it is certain that the present Uniackes, descend from the above-mentioned persons, though the intermediate generations from 1390 to 1500 have been lost sight of. The branch of this family which settled in со. Tipperary assumed the name of Fitz-Gerald, and were represented by the Judkin-Fitzgerald Baronets, of Lisheen, County Tipperary.

The principal seat was Ballyhubbert, near Youghal, until the middle of the 17th century, and since then Mount Uniacke, also near Youghal, both in со. Cork.

Baronetcy of Lisheen extinct 1917 or dormant?

The Crown Office Baronetcy Register Official Roll states that the 4th Baronet was Sir Joseph Capel Judkin-Fitzgerald, (1853-1917) and his heir was Capel Gerald Judkin-Fitzgerald (1872-1898) and the second heir was Thomas Judkin-Fitzgerald (born 1873). The Roll shows Thomas Judkin-Fitzgerald as the 5th Baronet, but it is doubtful as the entry appears incomplete. The entry after Thomas simply says the baronetcy is either extinct or dormant and gives no date of death for Thomas, nor does it say what relationship he was to the 4th Baronet.

Capitalization

Most of the sources I just looked at - including the 1840 baronetage, where that doesn't use all-caps - use "Fitzgerald", not "FitzGerald". Thus, I reverted the recent change in capitalization. If there's some grand reason to use "FitzGerald" despite the sources to the contrary, please tell us here. Huon (talk) 13:48, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
