Six The Musical as Tweets pt70

I’m pretty sure from what I’ve pieced together that Barnaby at least lived to see the birth of his grandson John, the other 7 children Margaret gave birth to Joan would live on to see.

Her eyes would then go on to see the birth of 1 great grandson before the veil closed on her when she was in her mid sixties.

Barnaby would be the best grandpa, he has such a big heart.

Had he lived to witness John’s murder I know he would saddle up again despite being an old man, Barnaby was never the type to let something unjust that happened go without having it settled.

His destruction and burning of Joan and Margret’s captor’s homes is very much a testament to how much he loved them and the lengths he’d go.

That was his baby and his love. ❤️

My sad sap self is going to be so sad Thursday , I just know it.

🕯 444 Years Ago Today 🕯

At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, on September 11, 1581, Barnaby Fitzpatrick — loyal servant of the Crown, trusted companion of Edward VI, husband to Joan, father to Margaret, and grandfather by then — drew his last breath in Dublin. He likely died alone in the home of a surgeon, William Kelly, far from his wife in Ossory and far from the warmth of his family.

Barnaby spent his entire life fighting — for his people, for his queen, for his survival. Through decades of shifting alliances and relentless conflict, he never turned on the Crown. Yet history too often reduces him to the title of “whipping boy.” I say he was — and always will be — far more than that.

Joan, his beloved wife, was eighty miles away. Margaret, his daughter, had already become a mother, making Barnaby a grandfather in his final years. Edward, his dearest friend, had long since passed, leaving Barnaby to carry on a loyalty that never wavered.

Today I say: I will not stop fighting for him, for Joan, for Margaret, and for Edward. Their story deserves to be brought into the 21st century. Barnaby and Joan deserve a proper conclusion, together. I will not rest until their remains are found, honored, and laid side by side in a tomb worthy of their lives and their legacy.

Barnaby Fitzpatrick is not forgotten. His story lives. And I will exhaust every part of myself to see that the world knows it.

As I begin my physical hunt for Barnaby Fitzpatrick second Baron of upper Ossory, his lady, Joan Fitzpatrick, Baroness of upper Ossory, and their beloved daughter Margaret Butler the Baroness of Dunboyne. All footage and excavations and research will be documented for all to see here, I would appreciate support, good day!
