About Henry Fitzgerald
Henry Fitzgerald was born in 1565. His uncle, Thomas "Silken Thomas" Fitzgerald, the 10th Earl of Kildare, led the Irish revolt against the throne of England along with Hugh O’Neill, 2nd Earl of Tyrone. After Thomas’ arrest and execution, Henry’s father Gerald Fitzgerald became the 11th Earl of Kildare. Gerald and his family lived in exile in Europe fearing the same fate as his brother. Henry was fostered in the court of Prince William of Orange under the care of William’s Brother, Louis of Nassau. Henry became the 12th Earl of Kildare after his father’s death in 1585.
