- John Butler, 6th Earl of Ormonde
John Butler, 6th Earl of Ormonde was born before 1449 and died in 1478. He was the son of James Butler, 4th Earl of Ormonde and Joan de Beauchamp. He was restored to the Earldom by Edward IV, after having been attainted for his part in the Battle of Towton.
He was considered one of first gentlemen of the age in which he lived; and Edward IV is reported to have said , "that if good breeding and liberal qualities were lost in the world, they might be all found in the Earl of Ormonde". He was a complete master of the languages of Europe, and was sent as ambassador to its principal courts. He died unmarried, but had a child out of wedlock William Butler, having, in a fit of devotion, made a visit to Jerusalem.
