Narrative

James Butler, or Bottelier, 1st Earl Ormond, succeeded to the Butlership of Ireland, but notwithstanding his nonage, being under age at his father's death, had license 3d December, 1325, for the fine of 2,000 marks to marry whom he pleased, and was created Earl of Ormond (the north part of the County of Tipperary) by patent bearing date of 2 November, 1328, at Salisbury, the King then holding Parliament there. By patent, dated at Wallingford, in consideration for his services, and better to enable him to support the honour, had given to him the regalities, liberties, knight's fees and other royal privileges of the County of Tipperary, and the rights of a Palatine in that county for life. By virtue of this grant these privileges were enjoyed by the family until 1716. He is described by Clynn, the Annalist, to be a liberal, amicable facetious and comely person. He died in the flower of his youth in the year 1337. He married in 1327 Eleanor, 2nd daughter of Humphrey de Bohun (great-great-grand-son of Henry de Bohun Surety for the Magna Charta) and his wife, Princess Elizabeth, daughter of King Edward I. They had John, who died an infant, James and a daughter, Petronilla, who married Gilbert, 3rd Baron Taubot.
