Stuart Loyalty
Matters did not become easy for Fitzgibbon. In 1606, he was committed to gaol on suspicion of disloyalty, but was released upon his promise to do service against the rebels. King James I made him Baron of Clangibbon, but he died at Castletown on the 23rd of April 1608, without statutory confirmation of his lands and titles. It was the day after the death of his son Maurice, and they were buried together after lying a week in the church of Kilbeny in Kilmallock.

Famous quotes containing the words stuart and/or loyalty:
“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
“As we try to change, we will discover within us a fierce struggle between our loyalty to that battle-scarred victim of his own childhood, our father, and the father we want to be. We must meet our childhood father at close range: get to know him, learn to forgive him, and somehow, go beyond him.”
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
