I have seen no references that mention that Margaret (FitzGerald) Butler was married to anyone other then Piers Butler, 8th Earl of Ormond. Where have these other three husbands come from? Christopher Fleming, 8th Baron Slane & Sir Richard Nugent, 5th Baron Delvin & Nicholas Arthur, of Limerick I see no information listed on the 3 extra husbands profiles.

Was she involved in a wrong merge? If no information can be found for these other husbands, I suggest they be removed.

Private you may be interested in this as you had interested in Margaret FitzGerald, Countess Ormonde

i suggest that you remove the extra husbands and i agree with you Carole a bad merge

Richard Nugent, Baron removed as husband of Margaret (FitzGerald) Butler and merged with Sir Richard Nugent, 5th Baron of Delvin

Nicholas Arthur, of Limerick removed as husband of Margaret (FitzGerald) Butler and connected with referenced wife Margaret Butler (Blake) who m2. Theobald Butler, dau. of Sir Valentine Blake, 1st Bt. and Margaret Ffrench

The Margaret's must of been wrongly merged at sometime but the information in her revisions made it to hard to find when the merge was done or if the merge would of been able to undo.

Christopher Fleming, 8th Baron Slane removed as husband of Margaret (FitzGerald) Butler and connected as husband of referenced wife Lady Ellis Fitzgerald

Ellis Fitzgerald was the sister of Margaret (FitzGerald) Butler

Lady Margaret Butler (Fitzgerald) is my 12th great grandmother. From my research I question Lady Margaret had more than one husband than my 12th great grandfather Piers Butler. Margaret was born in 1472 and married Piers in 1485 at age 13. They had 9 children and she died in 1542 3 years after piers in 1539. Not much time for 3 more marriages by even today’s standards.
Fleming married Lady Elilis FitzGerald not Margaret. Chirstopher was the eldest son of James Fleming, 7th Baron Slane. His mother was Elizabeth Welles (died 1506), daughter of William Welles, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and his wife Anne Barnewall, she was the widow of the 3rd Baron Killeen. He married firstly Lady Elilis FitzGerald, daughter of Gerald FitzGerald, 8th Earl of Kildare by his first wife Alison FiitzEustace, daughter of Rowland FitzEustace, 1st Baron Portlester. After Ellis' death Christopher married secondly Elizabeth Stucley, daughter of Nicholas Stucley.
Richard Nugent, 4th Baron Delvin was born circa 1523.1 He was the son of Sir Christopher Nugent and Marian St. Lawrence.2 He married Hon. Elizabeth Preston, daughter of Jenico Preston, 3rd Viscount Gormanston and Lady Catherine FitzGerald.3 He died on 23 November 1559.
Sir Nicholas Arthur married Margaret Blake, daughter of Sir Valentine Blake, 1st Bt. and Margaret ffrench.
Note: No reference to Lady Margaret Butler.
