Ballyhugh
Ballyhugh is a townland in the civil parish of Drumlane, Barony of Loughtee Lower, County Cavan, Ireland. Etymology The townland name is an anglicisation of a Gaelic placename, ''Bealach Aodha'', meaning 'The Road of Hugh'. The local pronunciation is ' ''Balla-Hew'' '. There is a local tradition that the townland is named after one of the several rulers of Tyrconnell named Hugh O'Donnell, who rested there when on a plundering expedition. The Annals of Ulster for 1475 state: ''A great hosting was made this year by Ua Domnaill, namely, by Aedh the Red, son of Niall Ua Domnaill the Rough, to rescue Brian, son of Feidhlimidh Ua Raighilligh, from the Ua Raighilligh. And he went to Bel-atha-Conaill and peace was made by him with Ua Raighilligh then''. Another plundering expedition over one hundred years later by Hugh Roe O'Donnell in 1595 is described in the Annals of the Four Masters as: ''They then proceeded with their preys and spoils, and pitched their camp that night in Teallach- ...

Edward Bagshawe Of Finglas
Sir Edward Bagshawe (or Bagshaw) (died 6 October 1657) of Finglas, County Dublin, was knighted in 1627, reappointed a comptroller of customs in 1629 and was a member of parliament for the borough of Banagher in Strafford's parliament of 1634−1635. During the Commonwealth (1650s) he was a commissioner of the revenue. Biography Little is known of Edward Bagshawe until 1624, when he appears as customer of the ports of Dublin, Skerries, Malahide, and Wicklow, but his services to the government must have been considerable, as in 1627 he received a knighthood and was given a grant of lands, afterwards known as the manor of Castle Bagshawe, Belturbet in County Cavan. At this time the government of Ireland farmed out the collection of customs duties to a consortium. That is the English consortium paid the government a fixed amount of money for the right to collect the customs duties and to keep the profits. The government benefited because it was guaranteed money while the consorti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Irish General Election, 1761
The 1761 Irish general election1 was the first general election to the Irish House of Commons in over thirty years, with the previous general election having taken place in 1727. Despite few constituencies hosting electoral contests, the election was significant due to it taking place in a time of rising political awareness within the Irish public, with many being drawn to the cause of patriotism. Background Unlike England, which had passed the Triennial Acts in 1694, thereby requiring elections every 3 years (and following 1716 every 7 years), Ireland had passed no similar pieces of legislation. As a result, the only limit on a term of parliament was the life of the monarch. This did not mean that the Commons had the same membership between 1727 and 1761, and numerous vacancies had occurred over the years, which had in turn been filled through by-elections. By the late 1750s the lack of frequent elections was becoming a contested issue, and the issue was taken up by the patriot ...

Charles Coote, 1st Earl Of Bellomont
Charles Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont KB PC(I) (6 April 1738 – 20 October 1800), was an Irish peer. He held a senior political position as one of the joint Postmasters General of Ireland. Charles was briefly styled as The 5th Baron Coote between February 1766 and his elevation to the earldom in September 1767. Life Charles was the son of Charles Coote MP (1695–1750) and Prudence Geering of Cootehill, County Cavan. He was born on 6 April 1738 and baptised six days later. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin. Lord Bellomont, as he then was, was badly wounded while fighting a duel with The Viscount Townshend on 2 February 1773: Townshend shot him in the groin. The quarrel seems to have been political, as Townshend had been a highly unpopular Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Coote was the representative for County Cavan in the Irish House of Commons from 1761–66. He succeeded as The 5th Baron Coote in February 1766, and was created Earl of Bellomont in September 1767.

Ulster Plantation
The Plantation of Ulster ( gle, Plandáil Uladh; Ulster-Scots: ''Plantin o Ulstèr'') was the organised colonisation (''plantation'') of Ulstera province of Irelandby people from Great Britain during the reign of King James I. Most of the settlers (or ''planters'') came from southern Scotland and northern England; their culture differed from that of the native Irish. Small privately funded plantations by wealthy landowners began in 1606, while the official plantation began in 1609. Most of the colonised land had been confiscated from the native Gaelic chiefs, several of whom had fled Ireland for mainland Europe in 1607 following the Nine Years' War against English rule. The official plantation comprised an estimated half a million acres (2,000 km2) of arable land in counties Armagh, Cavan, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Donegal, and Londonderry. Land in counties Antrim, Down, and Monaghan was privately colonised with the king's support. Among those involved in planning and over ...

Member Of Parliament
A member of parliament (MP) is the representative in parliament of the people who live in their electoral district. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this term refers only to members of the lower house since upper house members often have a different title. The terms congressman/congresswoman or deputy are equivalent terms used in other jurisdictions. The term parliamentarian is also sometimes used for members of parliament, but this may also be used to refer to unelected government officials with specific roles in a parliament and other expert advisers on parliamentary procedure such as the Senate Parliamentarian in the United States. The term is also used to the characteristic of performing the duties of a member of a legislature, for example: "The two party leaders often disagreed on issues, but both were excellent parliamentarians and cooperated to get many good things done." Members of parliament typically form parliamentary groups, sometimes called caucuse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
