Fitz-Garrett Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Fitz-Garrett name carries the echo of two worlds — the Norman fils de tradition and the Irish Garrett, itself rooted in the given name Gerald or Gerard, so central to the great FitzGerald dynasties of Munster and Leinster. Fitz-Garrett families appear in the Irish record as part of the wider Anglo-Norman settlement, their name a branch of the same Norman-Irish heritage that produced some of Ireland's most powerful medieval houses. This Irish woven blanket features the Fitz-Garrett family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan — a fitting tribute to a name embedded in Irish history.

Background

The name Gerald — and its variants Garrett and Gerard — was central to the Norman identity in Ireland: the FitzGeralds, Earls of Kildare and Desmond, were among the most powerful dynasties in medieval Ireland, and the broader Fitzgerald-Garrett naming tradition spread widely across Leinster and Munster. The Fitz-Garrett name connects to this world, part of the great web of Norman-Irish families whose roots reached deep into the Irish counties and whose influence shaped Irish history for centuries.

How It’s Made

This is a woven blanket — the Fitz-Garrett family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the cotton textile during the weaving process, not applied as a surface print. The pattern carries genuine depth and consistency across the full cloth, with a rich, heavyweight woven texture and the soft durability of premium cotton yarn. Traditional fringed edges complete the piece.
