The Bluets 70 King Henry II had landed at Waterford on 18 th October 291 1172 and then The king tarried a few days at Waterford, &c- After came the kinge of Corks, Dermot McCarty, and yeldet himself to the kinge, and did him homag, and sware gret othes, and delywred him ostage for to be his subject, and gawe him sartayne evary yere of his land. 292 This upset many of Dermot‘s subjects and eventually his son rebelled, but was caught and executed. The son involved was not Petronella‘s, as Dermot married her when he was 75 293 and she was young. She and Dermot had no children. This was the year after Dermot submitted to Henry II and it is very likely this marriage of a daughter of Henry‘s former mistress, Nest, was contracted at the meeting of Henry and Dermot in 1172 to cement the alliance. It might be that Petronella was of an age to allow the marriage to be consummated but most likely she was far too young. According to canon law consummation should not take place before the girl was 12 years old 294 . Petronella‘s date of birth is 291 St Luke‘s Day 292 MacCarthy, D (1858) reported in Proceedings of the 1858 November Meeting Jour. Kilkenny and South-East of Ireland Archaeological Society. Vol. II p210 but quoting the words of the unknown author of the Book of Howth. Howth Hill was the site of Tara, overlooking Dubhlinn or Dublin Bay, not far from Eblana, Dublin, and rising 578 feet above the water, it was destroyed by the Danes in 819. The Book of Howth chronicles events from 432 to 1370. http://www.libraryireland.com/articles/TaraBonwickDruids/index.php 293 http://www.libraryireland.com/Pedigrees1/MacCarthyMor.php Dermod-Mór-na-Cill-Baghain, Prince of Desmond, and King of Cork, A.D. 1144 to A.D. 1185: his son; was the first of the family that submitted to the Anglo-Norman yoke, A.D. 1172; was b. A.D. 1098; and m. twice, the second wife being a young Anglo- Norman lady named Petronilla de Bleete (or Bloet), "dame issue d'une noble famille d'Angleterre," with whom the family of Stack came to Ireland, and through whose influence they obtained from Dermod MacCarthy extensive possessions in the county of Kerry. Dermod was 75 years old when he contracted this second marriage. 294 Shahar, S (2003) The Fourth Estate : A History of Women in the Middle Ages
The Bluets 71 not known with certainty but she can‘t have been much over this, if she wasn‘t considerably younger in 1173. Noble children were often married young, when a seigneurs daughter reached the age of 7 her father was entitled to demand feudal aid from his vassals to marry her off. When she reached her ninth year she was entitled to receive her allotted dowry 295 and so Petronella may have been very young indeed. When Dermot died in 1185 296 it is possible, even likely, that the marriage had never been consummated because of her tender years. Petronella‘s brother (frat ejus eide Petronille 297 ), Thomas, paid Petronella‘s marriage dowry to Dermot and is credited with arranging the marriage. The only Roll entry that refers to this marriage is dated 1217, but it is the instruction for the Justiciar of Ireland, Geoffrey de Marisc to pay Petronella‘s dowry back to her without delay 298 because Dermot was dead 299 and had been for a long time; it is noted that this instruction is made almost 30 years after Dermot‘s death. 300 Revised Ed p134 295 Shahar, S (2003) ibid 296 Clarenden Mss 4783, page 97 qutoed in MacCarthy, D (1858) reported in Proceedings of the 1858 November Meeting Jour.

T. com Supa in the Journal of the Kilkenny and South East of Ireland Archaeological Society (1859) vol II p211 298 Sn dilone (see transcript in previous footnote) is taken to be a contraction of dilatio sine = without delay. It doesn‘t appear in Latham 299 It is interesting that this repayment is made in the first year of the Regency of William Marshal, and of course the Bluets were major allies and supporters of the Marshal 300 If visiting from above click here to go back to the text
