Richard Netterville
Richard Netterville (–1607) was an Irish barrister and politician of the Elizabethan era. He was noted for his willingness to oppose the Crown, especially on its taxation policies, and as a result, he was imprisoned several times. Background He was born in Dowth in County Meath, second son of Luke Netterville, judge of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland) and Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Luttrell, Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas. The Netterville family were long-established landowners in County Meath, and are recorded in Ireland from before 1280. His father died in 1560. As he was the son and grandson of judges, and a younger son with his livelihood to earn, it was an obvious career choice for Richard to practice at the Irish Bar. He was at the Inns of Court in London in 1561–62, where he was one of a group of Irish law students who compiled a book on the misgovernment of the Pale. He had returned to Ireland by 1564 to practice law. Cess controversy The ''cess'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Geoffrey Baron (rebel)
Geoffrey Baron (or Barron; 1607–1651) was an Irish rebel. The elder brother of Bonaventure Baron, Geoffrey acquired eminence in Ireland as a scholar and a lawyer in the reign of Charles I. He engaged actively in the affairs of the Irish confederates in 1642, and was appointed as their delegate to the court of France. Baron acted for a time as treasurer for the Irish Confederation, and throughout his career enjoyed a high character for probity and sincere devotion to the cause of his Roman Catholic countrymen. He strongly opposed the surrender of Limerick to the army of the parliament of England in 1651, and was consequently one of those excepted from pardon for life and estate by a special clause in the treaty of capitulation. When the parliamentarian troops entered Limerick in October 1651, Baron voluntarily surrendered himself, and was sentenced to death by a court of officers presided over by the lord-deputy, Henry Ireton.
