Lord of Decies andDesmond, by his first wife.  He left Ireland, his native country,about the year 1260, and went to Wales, where he obtained extensivepossessions, by grant or marriage, or by both, in Co. Merioneth inNorth Wales, including the sire of the present mansion ofCors-y-Gedol.     As we have seen, Osborn's ancestors had formerlylived in Wales and were closely and highly associated with thenational affairs of the principality. Hisgreat-great-great-grandmother Gladys , and his great-great-grandmotherNesta, were Welsh Pricesses, while his great-grandmother Alice wasgranddaughter of the greatest of the Norman lorks.     Also, as wehave seen, his great-grandfather, Maurice Fitz Gerald, was the leaderof the first successful Norman invasion of Ireland.     Truly thegreatness of his ancestory was all that could be desired and it isevident that he was no stranger to Wales, or to Welsh affairs, when heemigrated there from Ireland.  He was the ancestor of the Yales in thedirect male line and he was certainly living in Co., Merioneth in1293, as he was assessed in that year, in the parish of Llanaber,towards the tax of a Fifteenth.  He had a son; Cynrik ap Osborn.
