Career
Barnaby Fitzpatrick was subsequently knighted on 1 July 1543. That being done, Brían, in 1537, submitted to the English king and gave up all his ancient rights. In this year, with Brian"s submission, "chieftaincy merged into the landlord, and the clansman became mere rent-payers or tenants on their ancestral territories forever".
He was afterwards imprisoned at Waterford until he restored "some preys he had seized in Leix".
Barnaby (c 1533-1581), his successor and second Baron, was invited to study in London with the boy-king Edward VI, who developed a deep affection for him. In 2002, researchers Ronan Fitzpatrick and Steve Zalewski published a book containing a list of all known descendants of Barnaby Fitz-Patrick, 1st Baron Upper Ossory.
