James Lynch Fitz Stephen
James Lynch fitz Stephen was mayor of Galway for the civic year 1493–1494. He is believed to have been the father of Stephen Lynch fitz James, mayor 1509–10, 1516–17 and 1523. James Lynch funded a window in St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church. Hanging legend A legend states that James Lynch, during his term as mayor, sentenced his son to death for "broken trust" and murder of "a stranger", and personally hanged him from a window of his own house. The earliest extant account was written by a Spanish Dominican in 1674. James Mitchell argues that the story is a pure myth, since numerous earlier accounts of the period make no mention of it.
