Knight of Glinとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Knight of Glin, also called the Black Knight, has been a hereditary title in the Fitzgeralds of Limerick, Ireland since the early 14th century. The family is a branch of the FitzGerald dynasty or Geraldines, related to the Earls of Desmond (extinct), who were granted extensive lands in County Limerick by the Duke of Normandy by way of conquest. The title is named after the village of Glin, near the Knight's lands. The Knight of Glin is properly addressed as "Knight" (not, as one might expect, "Sir xxxx FitzGerald").
