Her father, 4th Earl of Ormond, Lieutenant of Ireland, tolerated continual tension from the Talbot family, including charges of treason, grievances presented to the Privy Council (including loss of land due to his neglect) and the Privy Council finally reprimanded both Butler and Talbot for wasting Ireland's government efforts and energies. The long fued was settled when their children married: Elizabeth married Sir John Talbot.
