James Cornwalsh
James Cornwalsh (died 1441) was an Irish judge who held the office of Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer. He was a political figure of considerable importance in fifteenth-century Ireland, and a supporter of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, James Butler, 4th Earl of Ormond.Beresford, David "Cornwalsh, James ''Cambridge Dictionary of Irish Biography'' 2009 He was murdered as a result of a feud over the possession of Baggotrath Castle, near Dublin.Smith, J.

Chief Baron Of The Irish Exchequer
The Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer was the Baron (judge) who presided over the Court of Exchequer (Ireland). The Irish Court of Exchequer was a mirror of the equivalent court in England and was one of the four courts which sat in the building which is still called The Four Courts in Dublin. The title Chief Baron was first used in 1309 by Walter de Islip. In the early centuries of its existence, it was a political as well as a judicial office, and as late as 1442 the Lord Treasurer of Ireland thought it necessary to recommend that the Chief Baron should always be a properly trained lawyer (which Michael Gryffin, the Chief Baron at the time, was not). There is a cryptic reference in the Patent Roll for 1390 to the Liberty of Ulster having its own Chief Baron. The last Chief Baron, The Rt Hon. Christopher Palles, continued to hold the title after the Court was merged into a new High Court of Justice in Ireland in 1878, until his retirement in 1916, when the office lapsed ...

Jenico D'Artois
Sir Jenico d'Artois, Dartas, Dartass or Dartasso (c.1350 – November 1426) was a Gascony-born soldier and statesman, much of whose career was spent in Ireland. He enjoyed the trust and confidence of three successive English monarchs, and became a wealthy landowner in Ireland. Early career Although the best-known version of his surname suggests Artois as his birthplace, historians agree that he was a native of Gascony. This province in France, which had been part of the dowry of Eleanor of Aquitaine on her marriage in 1152 to Henry II of England, was in the fourteenth century still an English possession. Little seems to be known about his parents. He had at least one brother, Sampson, to whom he remained close throughout his life. It has been suggested that he was a "rootless" individual, who ultimately settled in Ireland because he had no strong ties anywhere else. D'Artois served in the garrison of Cherbourg in 1367 and 1368, during the time when the town was a possession of C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Reginald De Snyterby
Reginald de Snyterby (died 1436) was an Irish judge of the fifteenth century, from a family of English origin which produced several senior Irish judges.Ball p.175 He was probably born in Dublin, to a family which originated at Snitterby, Lincolnshire, and came to Ireland in the late thirteenth century. He was related, though in precisely what degree is unclear, to two Irish judges with the same surname in earlier generations, Thomas de Snyterby (died 1316) and Nicholas de Snyterby (died c.1355). He is first heard of in 1410 when he received a royal pardon for "intruding" onto lands which were not lawfully his; He received a pardon for a similar action ten years later. In 1418 he was one of those given permission to found a new chapel called St. John's Chapel, near Dublin, along with his future colleague on the Bench, Roger Hawkenshaw.''Patent Roll 6 Henry V'' Whether the chapel was actually built is uncertain. In 1421 he sat on a commission with William Tynbegh, Chief Justice o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Court Of Common Pleas (Ireland)
The Court of Common Pleas was one of the principal courts of common law in Ireland. It was a mirror image of the equivalent court in England. Common Pleas was one of the four courts of justice which gave the Four Courts in Dublin, which is still in use as a courthouse, its name. History According to Elrington Ball the Irish Court of Common Pleas, which was known in its early years as ''the Common Bench'' or simply ''the Bench'', was fully operational by 1276. It was headed by its Chief Justice (the Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas, as distinct from the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, who was the head of the Irish Court of King's Bench). He had two (occasionally three) justices to assist him. The first Chief Justice was Sir Robert Bagod, former High Sheriff of County Limerick, a member of an old Dublin family which gave its name to Baggot Street. In the early centuries, he was often referred to as "Chief Justice of the Bench", or "the Dublin Bench". Traditionally its ...

John Blakeney (Irish Judge)
John Blakeney (died 1438) was an Irish judge of the fifteenth century, who served three times as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas.Ball p.174 He was born in Dublin, to a long-established Dublin family. It is unclear if he was a relative of James Blakeney, another senior official of the same generation who held office as Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland and as Chief Escheator. He is first heard of as a Crown official in 1405, when he was ordered to convey lands at Navan to Sir Jenico d'Artois.''Patent Roll 7 Henry IV'' In 1413 he was acting as judge of assize in Dublin and the counties of the Pale. He was appointed Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas in 1420 at Donore, the Crown authorities "trusting in his fealty and circumspection".''Patent Rolls 8 Henry V'' According to the letters patent appointing him, he was to hold office so long as he was of good behaviour. His salary was £28 per annum. He was removed from office in 1424 but reappointed in June 1425. He heard a com ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rathfarnham
Rathfarnham () is a Southside suburb of Dublin, Ireland. It is south of Terenure, east of Templeogue, and is in the postal districts of Dublin 14 and 16. It is within the administrative areas of both Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council and South Dublin County Council. Located within the historical baronies of Rathdown and Uppercross, Rathfarnham village originally developed around a fortification overlooking a ford on the River Dodder. From the medieval period, Rathfarnham was on the perimeter of the Pale (the area of Anglo-Norman influence in Ireland, centred on Dublin), and a number of defensive structures were built in the area. Rathfarnham Castle, a fortified house, was built in the late 16th century. Developed around these structures, by the 19th century there were a number of mills operating in the area, and Rathfarnham was still somewhat rural by the early 20th century.

Munster
Munster ( gle, an Mhumhain or ) is one of the four provinces of Ireland, in the south of Ireland. In early Ireland, the Kingdom of Munster was one of the kingdoms of Gaelic Ireland ruled by a "king of over-kings" ( ga, rí ruirech). Following the Norman invasion of Ireland, the ancient kingdoms were shired into counties for administrative and judicial purposes. In later centuries, local government legislation has seen further sub-division of the historic counties. Munster has no official function for local government purposes. For the purposes of the ISO, the province is listed as one of the provincial sub-divisions of the State ( ISO 3166-2:IE) and coded as "IE-M". Geographically, Munster covers a total area of and has a population of 1,364,098, with the most populated city being Cork. Other significant urban centres in the province include Limerick and Waterford. History In the early centuries AD, Munster was the domain of the Iverni peoples and the Clanna Dedad famili ...

Privy Council Of Ireland
His or Her Majesty's Privy Council in Ireland, commonly called the Privy Council of Ireland, Irish Privy Council, or in earlier centuries the Irish Council, was the institution within the Dublin Castle administration which exercised formal executive power in conjunction with the chief governor of Ireland, who was viceroy of the British monarch. The council evolved in the Lordship of Ireland on the model of the Privy Council of England; as the English council advised the king in person, so the Irish council advised the viceroy, who in medieval times was a powerful Lord Deputy. In the early modern period the council gained more influence at the expense of the viceroy, but in the 18th century lost influence to the Parliament of Ireland. In the post-1800 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Irish Privy Council and viceroy Lord Lieutenant had formal and ceremonial power, while policy formulation rested with a Chief Secretary directly answerable to the British cabinet.

Privy Council Of England
The Privy Council of England, also known as His (or Her) Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council (), was a body of advisers to the sovereign of the Kingdom of England. Its members were often senior members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, together with leading churchmen, judges, diplomats and military leaders.
