Ralph III and Nest‘s son, Thomas, married Margary de Coglan and they<br />

had a son Peter. He was also involved in his sister Petronella‘s marriage<br />

to King Dermot (see below)<br />

<strong>The</strong> daughters of Ralph III also married well. Petronella married a King,<br />

although it was a political marriage as many between those of high birth<br />

were. She was married to Dermot McCarthy (or Diarmit mac Carrthaig)<br />

king of Cork in Ireland 289 . Dermot came to the throne in 1138 and then<br />

began the long, eventful and disastrous reign of Dermot,<br />

whose most unenviable lot it was to be the first of the Irish<br />

princes who swore fealty to Henry 11, and whose latter days<br />

were darkened by the execution of a rebellious son 290<br />

Crouch, D (1993) William Marshal: Court, Career and Chivalry in the Angevin<br />

Empire 1147 – 1219 p198 has Desmond, but the original sources clearly give him as<br />

King of Cork.. <strong>The</strong>re was Dermot King of Desmond but he died later than this and<br />

the dates do not fit. Blewett gives Cork, sourced to the Butlers (Blewett. M<br />
