  === Life Sketch ===
  Sir Richard de Rupe (de Roch)
  Already a Knight in Wales
  Adam, Henry, William
  
  Rodebert de Rupe
  (de Roch)
  Squire; Richard's brother - Knighted in Ireland
  Adam, Henry, David
  
  This chart shows that Gerald de Rupe was Lord of the lands north of the Slaney which runs into Wexford Harbour - and centred at Artramont - although they did build the first fort in Ireland at Ferrycarrig. As an aside, King John later made Sir Thomas FitzAnthony de St Legere, Seneschal of Leinster. He had five daughters, the eldest of whom, Helen, eventually married Gerald de Rupe.
  
  Gerald is found in the Gormanstown Register (Landsdowne Manuscript), and later is shown married to Rose fouth co-heiress of John de Botiller (Butler) and finally Mathilda, daughter of David, Baron of Naas, by whom he had a son George, who in turn had a son John.
  The difficulty here is wording (on which I stand to be corrected). It may be that there was a generational repetition of the first name and a son or grandson married lady two and/or three. By writ from the Crown [Edward II, c 1309], George was summoned as a Peer to Parliament with one William de Rupe. His services to Edward received special acclaim in the 13th year of Edward's reign for his actions during the Bruce invasion. But since my source goes on to say he was killed in AD1346, this second reference may be to a son, grandson or a very aged warrior. (Source: Printed Rolls, 15 Jac. I, p.327].
  As from the beginning, the Roches were under feudal law subinfeudiated to the Earls of Pembroke - whom after de Clare and Marschall passed had from the scene - changed rapidly by virtue of coming into the daughers' shares and arbirtary re-allocation by various monarchs. At this time, one Aylmer, husband of one of the earlier Earl's daughters, was in line of partial succession, as best I can determine.
  
  There was a third Adam de Rupe in Ireland post AD 1169-72 (charters) whose brother was Gerald.
  And there was also a Lord Eustace de Rupe, killed by the de Cautetons. Whether the well-known Alexander, founder of Selskar Abbey in Wexford (c 1190) was his son, one can only surmise. Alexander also had at least one son David (flying in the face of the old fable about the Crusades/Chastity Vow
