Unfortunately for the subsequent See also:peace of See also:Munster these projects were not carried out
.
The See also:Desmond estates were held by a doubtful See also:title, and claims on them were made by the Butlers, the hereditary enemies of the Geraldines, the 9th earl of See also:Ormonde having married See also:Lady See also:Joan See also:Fitzgerald, daughter and heiress-See also:general of the I1th earl of Desmond
.
On Ormonde's See also:death she proposed to marry Gerald Fitzgerald, and eventually did so, after the death of her second See also:husband, See also:Sir See also:Francis See also:Bryan
.
The effect of this See also:marriage was a temporary cessation of open hostility between the Desmonds and her son, See also:- THOMAS

Butler, loth earl of Ormonde
.
Gerald succeeded to the earldom in 1558; he was knighted by the See also:lord See also:deputy See also:Sussex, and did See also:homage at See also:Waterford
.
He soon established See also:close relations with his namesake Gerald Fitzgerald, Ilth earl of See also:Kildare (1525-1585), and with See also:Shane O'See also:Neill
.
In spite of. an See also:award made by Sussex in See also:August 156o regulating the matters in dispute between Ormonde and the Fitzgeralds, the Geraldine outlaws were still plundering their neighbours
.
Desmond neglected a See also:summons to appear at See also:Elizabeth's See also:court for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time on the plea that he was at See also:war with his See also:uncle See also:Maurice
.
When . he did appear in See also:London in May 1562 his insolent conduct before the privy See also:council resulted in a See also:short imprisonment in the
.
See also:Tower
.
He was detained. in England until 1564, and soon after his return his wife's death set him See also:free from such See also:restraint as was provided by her Butler connexion
.
He now raided See also:Thomond, and in Waterford he sought to enforce his feudal rights on Sir Maurice Fitzgerald of Decks, who invoked the help of Ormonde
.
The two nobles thereupon resorted to open war, fighting a See also:battle at Affane on the See also:Blackwater, where Desmond was defeated and taken prisoner
.
Ormonde and Desmond were See also:bound over in London to keep the peace, being allowed to. return See also:early in 1566 to See also:Ireland, where a royal See also:commission was appointed to See also:settle the matters in dispute between them
.
Desmond and his See also:brother Sir See also:John of Desmond were sent over to England, where they surrendered their lands to the See also:queen after a short experience of the Tower: In the meanwhile Desmond's See also:cousin, James Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald, caused himself to be acclaimed See also:captain of Desmond in See also:defiance of See also:Sidney, and in the evident expectation of usurping the earldom
.
He sought to give the See also:movement an ultra-See also:Catholic See also:character, with the See also:idea of gaining See also:foreign assistance, and allied himself with John See also:Burke, son of the earl of See also:Clanricarde, with See also:Connor O'Brien, earl of Thomond, and even secured Ormonde's brother, Sir See also:Edmund Butler, whom' Sidney had offended
.
Piers and Edward Butler also joined the See also:rebellion, but the See also:appearance of Sidney and' Ormonde in the See also:south-See also:west was rapidly followed by the submission of the Butlers

Perrot hunted him down, and at last on the 23rd of See also:February 1573 he made formal submission at See also:Kilmallock, lying prostrate on the See also:floor of the See also:- CHURCH

Against the See also:advice of the queen's Irish counsellors Desmond was allowed to return to Ireland in 1573, the earl promising not to exercise See also:palatinate See also:jurisdiction ' in See also:Kerry until his rights to it were proved
.
He was detained for six months in See also:Dublin, but in See also:November slipped through the hands of the See also:government, and
within a very short time had reduced to a See also:state of anarchy the See also:province which Perrot thought to have pacified by his severities
.
Edward Fitzgerald, brother of the earl of Kildare, and See also:lieutenant of the queen's pensioners in London, was sent to remonstrate with Desmond, but accomplished nothing
.
Desmond asserted that none but Brehon See also:law should be observed between Geraldines; and Fitzmaurice seized Captain See also:George See also:Bourchier, one of Elizabeth's See also:officers in the west
.
See also:Essex met the earl near See also:Water-See also:ford in See also:July, and Bourchier was surrendered, but Desmond refused the other demands made in the queen's. name
.
A document offering £50o for his See also:head, and s000 to any one who would take him alive, was See also:drawn up but was vetoed by two members of the council

In 1579 he landed in Smerwick See also:Bay, where he was joined later by some Spanish soldiers at the Fort del Ore
.
His See also:ships were captured on the 29th of July and he himself was slain in a skirmish while on his way to See also:Tipperary
.
See also:Nicholas See also:Sanders, the papal See also:legate who had accompanied Fitzmaurice, worked on Desmond's weakness, and sought to draw him into open rebellion
.
Desmond had perhaps been restrained before by See also:jealousy of Fitzmaurice; his indecisions ceased when on the 1st of November Sir William
.
See also:Pelham proclaimed him a traitor
.
The See also:sack of See also:Youghal and See also:Kinsale by the Geraldines was speedily followed by the successes of Ormonde and Pelham acting in See also:concert with See also:Admiral Winter_ In See also:June 1581 Desmond had to take to the See also:woods, but he maintained a considerable following for some time, which, however, in June 1583, when Ormonde set a See also:price on his head; was reduced to four persons
.
Five months later, on the 11th of November, he was seized and murdered by a small party of soldiers
.
His brother Sir John of Desmond had been caught and killed in See also:December 1581, and the seneschal of Imokilly had surrendered on the 14th of June 1583
