Patriot Parliament
Patriot Parliament is the name commonly used for the Irish Parliament session called by King James II during the Williamite War in Ireland which lasted from 1688 to 1691. The first since 1666, it held only one session, which lasted from 7 May 1689 to 20 July 1689. The House of Commons was 70 members short since there were no elections in the northern counties; as a result, its members were overwhelmingly Old English and Catholic. Sir Richard Nagle was elected speaker while the House of Lords was led by Baron Fitton; the opposition was led by Anthony Dopping, a Church of Ireland cleric who served as the Bishop of Meath. Irish nationalist historian Sir Charles Gavan Duffy first used the term Patriot Parliament in 1893 but in reality, it was deeply divided. The deliberate destruction of its records after 1695 mean assessments, both negative and positive, often rely on individual accounts. Background Despite his Catholicism, James II became king in 1685 with widespread suppor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Peter Ludlow (politician)
Peter Ludlow (; born January 16, 1957), who also writes under the pseudonyms Urizenus Sklar and EJ Spode, is an American philosopher. He is noted for interdisciplinary work on the interface of linguistics and philosophy—in particular on the philosophical foundations of Noam Chomsky's theory of generative linguistics and on the foundations of the theory of meaning in linguistic semantics. He has worked on the application of analytic philosophy of language to topics in epistemology, metaphysics, and logic, among other areas. Ludlow has also established a research program outside of philosophy and linguistics. Here, his research areas include conceptual issues in cyberspace, particularly questions about cyber-rights and the emergence of laws and governance structures in and for virtual communities, including online games, and as such he is also noted for influential contributions to legal informatics. In recent years Ludlow has written nonacademic essays on hacktivist culture a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

John Osborne (barrister)
John Osborne (c.1630–1692) was an English barrister and law officer who spent much of his adult life in Ireland. He was the only surviving son of the celebrated writer Francis Osborne, and the subject of his father's most famous book, ''Advice to a Son'' (1656–1658). In Ireland, Osborne became Prime Serjeant-at-law under King Charles II. He was a determined opponent of King James II, was removed from office by James's government, and was later proscribed by the Irish Parliament. After the Glorious Revolution he was restored to office as Serjeant-at-law. His notable independence of mind, and his hostility to all former Jacobites, Protestant as well as Roman Catholic, even those who had pledged their loyalty to the new King William III, made him as unacceptable to the new regime as he had been to the old. He was dismissed from office shortly before his death in 1692.McGuire Family His father Francis Osborne was the fifth son of Sir John Osborne of Chicksands Priory, She ...
