Earl Of Bellomont
Earl of Bellomont, in the Kingdom of Ireland, was a title that was created three times in the Peerage of Ireland. The first creation came on 9 December 1680 when Charles Kirkhoven, 1st Baron Wotton, was made Earl of Bellomont. He had already been created Baron Wotton, of Wotton in the County of Kent, in the Peerage of England on 31 August 1650. He was childless and both titles became extinct on his death in 1683. The second creation came on 2 November 1689 when Richard Coote, 2nd Baron Coote, later Governor of New York, was made Earl of Bellomont. He was the son of Richard Coote, who had been created Lord Coote, Baron of Coloony, in the County of Sligo, in the Peerage of Ireland on 6 September 1660. Lord Coote was a younger son of Sir Charles Coote, 1st Baronet, and the younger brother of Charles Coote, 1st Earl of Mountrath (see Coote baronets for more information on this branch of the family). Lord Bellomont was succeeded by his elder son, Nanfan, the second Earl, who in hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles Coote, 1st Earl Of Bellamont
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (James (< Latin ''-us'', see Spanish/ Portuguese ''Carlos''). According to Julius Pokorny, the historical linguist and Indo-European studies, Indo-Europeanist, the root meaning of Charles is "old man", from Proto-Indo-European language, Indo-European *wikt:Appendix:Proto-Indo-Eu ...

Thomas Coote (Irish Politician)
The Honourable Thomas Coote (c. 1655 – 24 April 1741) was an Irish politician and judge, who sat in the Irish House of Commons, and held office as Recorder of Dublin and as a judge of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland). Although he was generally liked and respected, he was removed from the Bench in 1714, and resumed his political career. He was the grandfather of the Earl of Bellomont (third creation), and a noted bibliophile. Early life He was the third son of Richard Coote, 1st Baron Coote of Collooney and his wife Mary St. George, daughter of George St George, 1st Baron St George. Richard Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont (second creation), the controversial governor of New York and Massachusetts, was his eldest brother; Richard was born in 1636, but Thomas, who outlived him by forty years, must have been much younger than his brother. He was the heir of his uncle, also named Thomas Coote, of Cootehill, County Cavan. Thomas was "bred to the law": he entered Middle Temple in 1 ...

Extinct Earldoms In The Peerage Of Ireland
Extinction is the termination of an organism by the death of its last member. A taxon may become functionally extinct before the death of its last member if it loses the capacity to reproduce and recover. As a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence. Over five billion species are estimated to have died out. It is estimated that there are currently around 8.7 million species of eukaryotes globally, possibly many times more if microorganisms are included. Notable extinct animal species include non-avian dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, and mammoths. Through evolution, species arise through the process of speciation. Species become extinct when they are no longer able to survive in changing conditions or against superio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Children's Health Ireland At Temple Street
Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street () is a children's hospital located on Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland. It is a teaching hospital of University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin. History The hospital was founded by Mrs. Ellen Woodlock and her close friend Sarah Atkinson at 9 Upper Buckingham Street in 1872. It had just 8 beds when it opened. In 1876, the growing success of the hospital prompted the governing committee to invite the Religious Sisters of Charity to take over the running of the hospital. In May 1879 the lease at 9 Upper Buckingham Street expired and, with the help of a bequest, the sisters purchased the former home of the Earls of Bellomont at 15 Temple Street. Over the following years adjoining houses were purchased such as the residence of the Parnell family, number 14. The hospital expanded in the 1930s with help from the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake. A new nurses' home and a new x-ray department was officially opened by Minister of Lands, S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bellamont House
Bellamont House (sometimes Bellamont Forest) is a Georgian Palladian-style house set amongst 1,000 acres (400 hectares) of grounds in Cootehill, County Cavan, Ireland. The house was completed in 1730 for Judge Thomas Coote and likely designed by his nephew, the architect Edward Lovett Pearce. It is considered to be one of the finest and earliest examples of Palladian architecture in Ireland, and was originally loosely modelled on Andrea Palladio's Villa La Rotonda in Vicenza, Italy. The name of the house is a reference to the Earl of Bellomont. History Coote family ownership The house was constructed for Thomas Coote, whose 3rd wife Anne Lovett Tighe was an aunt of the architect, Edward Lovett Pearce. It likely passed to his son, Charles Coote (1695–1750) on his death in 1741 and from him to his son Charles Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont on his death in 1750. When Richard Coote, 3rd Earl of Bellomont died in 1766, the Bellamont title became extinct; however the title of B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Family Seat
A family seat, sometimes just called seat, is the principal residence of the landed gentry and aristocracy. The residence usually denotes the social, economic, political, or historic connection of the family within a given area. Some families took their dynasty name from their family seat ( Habsburg, Hohenzollern, and Windsor), or named their family seat after their own dynasty's name. The term ''family seat'' was first recorded in the 11th century Domesday Book where it was listed as the word '' caput''. The term continues to be used in the British Isles today. A clan seat refers to the seat of the chief of a Scottish clan A Scottish clan (from Scottish Gaelic , literally 'children', more broadly 'kindred') is a kinship group among the Scottish people.
