📅When: August 18th @ 🕙12.00pm-1.00pm

Description: Behind the shield of Ireland’s most powerful dynasty lay a network of remarkable women. While the history books often focus on the soldiers and statesmen of the FitzGerald family, it was the wives, mothers, and sisters who quietly steered the family's fortunes through centuries of triumph and turmoil.

Join us at Maynooth Castle for an engaging talk that brings these forgotten stories to light. From the Welsh princess Nest ferch Rhys—whose descendants laid the very foundations of the dynasty—to Elizabeth FitzGerald, the "Fair Geraldine," whose clever diplomacy at the Tudor Court saved her family after the disastrous Silken Thomas rebellion.
