Sir Thomas Butler, 1st Baronet

Sir Edmund's behaviour landed him in the gaol at the Dublin Castle, from which he then escaped.

The escape was completed with the help of Fiach McHugh O'Byrne (1534-1597), Lord of Ranelagh and leader of the Clann Uí Bhroin, after which Sir Edmund made his way to Glenmalure.

Emmett O'Byrne believes Sadhbh bore Sir Edmund a son, Thomas, who became the 1st Baronet of Cloughgrenan.

On 16 August 1628, he was created a Baronet of Cloughgrenan (a townland near Carlow, Ireland) by King Charles I (1600–1649).
