descended to his first cousin Domhnall Oge's line were it not meanwhile attainted in 1614. O'Donnell's youngest child, Mary Stuart O'Donnell, left a more lasting impression on posterity. Born in England in 1608. After her father's death, King James I of England, the first Stuart King of England, who was James VI of Scotland gave her the name Stuart, in recognition of their common Stuart ancestry – they were ninth cousins – hence she was known as Mary Stuart O'Donnell. She was descended, through her mother, Bridget née Fitzgerald, from the Stuarts. She was raised by her mother in Kildare lands in Ireland until she was twelve years old. In 1619 Mary was sent to live with her grandmother, Lady Kildare in London, where Lady Kildare aimed to educate the girl and make her her heiress. Her mother Bridget meanwhile remarried and had a further nine children.
