FitzSimons Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The FitzSimons name — a variant of FitzSimon, carrying the same Norman-Irish heritage — belongs to the established Anglo-Norman families of Leinster and the Dublin Pale, a community whose presence shaped the political, social, and cultural life of medieval Ireland. The Simons form reflects the way this surname evolved in different branches of the family over the centuries, but the heritage is the same: Norman origin, Irish roots, and a presence in the Irish record reaching back to the medieval period. This Irish woven blanket features the FitzSimons family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan.

The Name

FitzSimons, like its variant FitzSimon, derives from the Norman fils de Simon — son of Simon — and belongs to the broad world of Anglo-Norman Irish surnames that took shape in the Pale and Leinster counties after 1169. The family appears in the Irish record as part of the established Norman-Irish community, a community that by the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries had become as Irish as any Gaelic family while retaining its distinctive Norman-origin surnames. The FitzSimons crest carries that dual inheritance.

Construction

This is a woven blanket — the FitzSimons family crest and the Irish National Tartan integrated into the cotton textile during weaving, part of the cloth structure rather than a surface print. The pattern is consistent in depth and detail on both sides of the fabric, with a soft, substantial feel from the premium cotton yarn and traditional fringed edges to finish the piece correctly.
