Learn about the Barry "family crest", as well as the history of the family and surname.
The oldest coat of arms for the Barry family is blazoned as follows: Argent three bars gemels gules. In heraldry, a gemel is a pair of arrow bars borne close together.The Norman knight Odo de Barri, son of Guillaume, born c. 1040 AD, was granted the manors of Manorbier, Penally, and Begelly in Wales as a reward the military services he rendered during the Norman Conquest of Pembrokeshire. He was also granted Barry Island, from which the family claimed to derive its name. Odo built the first motte-and-bailey castle at Manorbier. His son, William Fitz Odo de Barry is the common ancestor of the Barry family in Ireland. He rebuilt Manorbier Castle in stone and the family retained the lordship of Manorbier until the 15th century.
David de Barry, the 3x great-grandson of Odo, was born in early part of the 13th century in Cork, Ireland. He was created the 1st Lord Barry c. 1261 AD. In 1267, King Henry III of England appointed Lord David de Barry as Chief Justice of Ireland.
John's eldest son, John Barry (c.1517-53), 14th Baron Barry, sat in the Irish parliament of 1541 as a Viscount, and although there is no record of the creation of a peerage of this degree, which may simply have been assumed, the peerage was henceforward regarded as a viscountcy by the Crown (again variously called Viscount Barry, Viscount Barrymore and Viscount Buttevant).
David de Barry was born Cork, Ireland in 1604, the son of David Fitz-James, 5th Viscount Buttevant. He succeeded to the title of 19th Lord Barry on 10 April 1617.1 He succeeded to the title of 6th Viscount Barry on 10 April 1617. He was created the 1st Earl of Barrymore on February 28th, 1727. He fought at the Battle of Liscarrol in 1642. He married Alice, daughter of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, and had four children with her. The family owned Castle Lyons, shown on the right, which became their principal seat in the 1620s, when it superseded Barrycourt Castle. They also owned Anngrove House, but mostly leased it out.
Now, there are a few coats of arms in the family that look considerably different from the ones just discussed. It shows two yellow lions on a blue shield. It belonged to the Barrys of Hampton Gay, first recorded as belonging to Sir Robert Barry of Stanbury (Bucks) who lived during the reign of King Edward II. A similar coat of arms, with a blue and red shield, belonged to Vincent Barry, Esq., of Thame, co. Oxford.
