  General Notes:

"granddaughter of Strongbow Kings of Leinster & Thomond"
Source <The journal of the Kilkenny and South-east of Ireland ..., Volume 9> Par Kilkenny and South-east of Ireland Archaeological Society:
""This barony of Duffryn belonged to Maude, the wife of Philip de Prendergast. Earl Strongbow gave his daughter, with the office of Constable and Standard-bearer of Leinster, to Robert de Quincy, who was soon after slain, when these offices were rightly inherited by his only child, Maude, who eventually married Philip de Prendergast ; and it was his wish to hold them which led Raymond le Gros to quarrel with Strongbow.
"We have much to learn yet as to the pedigree of the Pembroke branch of the De Clares. I believe Strongbow to have had more than one legitimate child."

He married the only child of Robert De Quincy, Constable and Standard-bearer of Leinster, who was killed shortly after his marriage (with, the chroniclers tell us, a daughter of Strongbow's) in a fight with the O'Dempseys of Offaley. With her, Prendergast, obtained the county of Kinsellagh, the towns of Enniscorthy and Ferns, and the territory of the Duffren, in Wexford, ..."
