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.

Judge
A judge is a person who presides over court proceedings, either alone or as a part of a panel of judges.

Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance.

A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor. Historically, in common law countries, treason also covered the murder of specific social superiors, such as the murder of a husband by his wife or that of a master by his servant. Treason (i.e. disloyalty) against one's monarch was known as ''high treason'' and treason against a lesser superior was ''petty treason''. As jurisdictions around the world abolished petty treason, "treason" came to refer to what was historically known as high treason. At times, the term ''traitor'' has been used as a political epithet, regardless of any verifiable treasonable action. In a civil war or ...
