Richard Netterville
Richard Netterville (–1607) was an Irish barrister and politician of the Elizabethan era. He was noted for his willingness to oppose the Crown, especially on its taxation policies, and as a result, he was imprisoned several times. Background He was born in Dowth in County Meath, second son of Luke Netterville, judge of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland) and Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Luttrell, Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas. The Netterville family were long-established landowners in County Meath, and are recorded in Ireland from before 1280. His father died in 1560.

He had returned to Ireland by 1564 to practice law. Cess controversy The ''cess'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
