In Ireland James became involved in a long and bitter dispute with the Talbots - John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and Richard Talbot, Archbishop of Dublin. He was present at the 1418 siege of Rouen, Normandy. Under Henry V James served militarily in both France and Ireland. James continued closely associated with Thomas, whom he accompanied on an expedition to France in 1412. In 1408 Thomas of Lancaster appointed James deputy lieutenant of Ireland. A royal licence for their marriage was dated 14 July 1432, and, because of consanguinity, they had a papal dispensation, dated 29 April 1432. In 1432 James married Elizabeth FitzGerald, daughter of Gerald FitzMaurice and his second wife Agnes Darcy, and widow of John Grey, 5th Lord Grey of Codnor.
No later than 28 August 1413, James married Joan Beauchamp, daughter of William Beauchamp and Joan FitzAlan/de Arundel. James entered into possession of his lands in Ireland in 1411, and those in England in 1412. James's father died in 1405, while James was still a minor, and his wardship was awarded to Thomas Lancaster, son of Henry IV. He was born at Fruglasse, County Kilkenny, Ireland on. James, known as the White Earl (perhaps because of his very fair hair), was the son of James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond, and Anne Welles.
