In 1185 King John confirmed this grant as regards the cantred of Offelan to William, eldest son of Maurice FitzGerald, and his heirs, who were known as barons of Naas. Maurice’s pioneering exploits earned him the reward of a grant of land in the form of the middle cantred of Offelan in County Kildare, which included Naas and the cantred of Wicklow. Maurice is considered the first FitzGerald baron of Offaly. The first was Maurice fitz Gerald an adventurer from Wales who accompanied the first Norman invaders to Ireland in 1169.
