Maurice FitzGerald, Lord of Lanstephan

Maurice FitzGerald, Lord of Lanstephan is a place of death in County Wexford, Ireland. Perhaps the Anglo-Norman noble bled across that soil on September 8, 1176, joining the quiet list of men the earth swallowed. Maybe his horse stampeded through mist or a knife slipped in darkness, but the date remains sharp while the cause fades. Imagine the red spray marking grass now forgotten, a life cut short before it could be remembered.
