The surname Devereux, of Irish descent, has a rich and fascinating history. The name originated from the Norman-French name "de Verre," which means "of Verreux" or "from Verreux." Verreux was a region in Normandy, France. The family then migrated to England during the Norman Conquest in the 11th century.
The Devereux family became prominent in Ireland during the 13th century when Walter Devereux, a knight, was granted lands in County Wexford. Walter's descendants played significant roles in Irish history, particularly during the Tudor period. Sir Walter Devereux, the first Baron of Wexford, was appointed as the governor of Ireland in 1569.
One of the most famous members of the Devereux family was Robert Devereux, the second Earl of Essex. He served as a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I and was a prominent figure during the Elizabethan era. However, his ambitious nature ultimately led to his downfall, and he was executed for treason in 1601.
The Devereux name continued to flourish in Ireland, with many notable individuals bearing the surname throughout the centuries. Today, descendants of the Devereux family can be found around the world, proudly carrying on their Irish heritage and the legacy of their ancestors.
