FitzSimon Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The FitzSimon name is one of the distinguished Norman-Irish surnames of the Pale, carried by a family that was prominent in the medieval life of County Dublin and the surrounding Leinster counties. Simon — a name of Hebrew origin made common through the Norman world — gave rise to this Fitz- surname in the generations after the Anglo-Norman settlement of Ireland, and the FitzSimons family became part of the established Anglo-Irish community of the Dublin Pale. This Irish woven blanket features the FitzSimon family crest woven against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a name with genuine historical standing in Leinster.

History & Heritage

The FitzSimons family were among the recognisable names of the Pale — the region of English-administered Ireland centred on Dublin — and appear in Irish records through the medieval and early modern periods as landowners, civic figures, and members of the Anglo-Irish community. The name connects to the broader world of Norman-Irish Leinster, where families bearing the Fitz- prefix were characteristic of the landed community that had taken root since the twelfth century. The FitzSimon crest carries that history with it.

Craftsmanship

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the FitzSimon crest and Irish National Tartan formed within the textile structure during weaving, not printed onto the surface. The design is part of the cloth itself: consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft but substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges that complete the piece as a genuinely woven heritage item.
