William Yonge (judge)
William Yonge or Young (died c.1437) was an Irish cleric and judge, who held office as Lord Chancellor of Ireland.Ball p.175 He was appointed Archdeacon of Meath and parson of the parish of St. Columba's, Kells, which was attached to the Archdeaconry, in 1412.''Patent Roll 13 Henry IV'' In 1415 the Crown pardoned him for any illegal intrusions he had made into the lands attached to St. Columba's, and granted the right to him and to all his successors as Archdeacon to hold the lands in question quietly and without disturbance. In the same year John Young, presumably a close relative, was granted certain lands in County Meath formerly held by William. He was Lord Chancellor of Ireland sometime between 1418 and 1422; as so often in this period there is confusion over the precise dates on which he held office. His tenure as Lord Chancellor seems to have been brief. However he clearly had enough knowledge of the law to be subsequently appointed one of the justices and Keepers of t ...

Lord Chancellor Of Ireland
The Lord High Chancellor of Ireland (commonly known as Lord Chancellor of Ireland) was the highest judicial office in Ireland until the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. From 1721 to 1801, it was also the highest political office of the Irish Parliament: the Chancellor was Speaker of the Irish House of Lords. The Lord Chancellor was also Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of Ireland. In all three respects, the office mirrored the Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. Origins There is a good deal of confusion as to precisely when the office originated. Until the reign of Henry III of England, it is doubtful if the offices of Irish and English Chancellor were distinct. Only in 1232 is there a clear reference to a separate Court of Chancery (Ireland). Early Irish Lord Chancellors, beginning with Stephen Ridell in 1186, were simply the English Chancellor acting through a Deputy. In about 1244 the decision was taken that there must be separate holders of the office in Engl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Archdeacon Of Meath
The archdeacon of Meath is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the united Diocese of Meath and Kildare. The archdeaconry can trace its history from Helias, the first known incumbent, who held the office in the twelfth century to the last discrete incumbent Thomas George Corrigan. who retired in 1996 when his role was merged with that of Kildare. As such he was responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy and the upkeep of diocesan property within his half of the diocese."ABCD: a basic church dictionary" Meakin, T: Norwich, Canterbury Press, 2001 Thomas Bache, Archdeacon of Meath for many years (c.1365-1410) was a leading judge and statesman, who served as Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, and Lord Treasurer of Ireland in 1400-1402.

Parson
A parson is an ordained Christian person responsible for a small area, typically a parish. The term was formerly often used for some Anglican clergy and, more rarely, for ordained ministers in some other churches. It is no longer a formal term denoting a specific position within Anglicanism, but has some continued historical and colloquial use. In the pre-Reformation church, a parson was the priest of an independent parish church, that is, a church not under the control of a larger ecclesiastical or monastic organization. The term is similar to rector and is in contrast to a vicar, a cleric whose revenue is usually, at least partially, appropriated by a larger organisation. Today the term is normally used for some parish clergy of non-Roman Catholic churches, in particular in the Anglican tradition in which a parson is the incumbent of a parochial benefice: a parish priest or a rector; in this sense a parson can be compared with a vicar. The title ''parson'' can be applied to c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kells, County Meath
Kells (; ) is a town in County Meath, Ireland. The town lies off the M3 motorway, from Navan and from Dublin. Along with other towns in County Meath, it is within the " commuter belt" for Dublin, and had a population of 6,135 as of the 2016 census. It is best known as the site of Kells Abbey, from which the Book of Kells takes its name.

Pardoned
A pardon is a government decision to allow a person to be relieved of some or all of the legal consequences resulting from a criminal conviction. A pardon may be granted before or after conviction for the crime, depending on the laws of the jurisdiction. Pardons can be granted in many countries when individuals are deemed to have demonstrated that they have "paid their debt to society", or are otherwise considered to be deserving of them. In some jurisdictions of some nations, accepting a pardon may ''implicitly'' constitute an admission of guilt; the offer is refused in some cases. Cases of wrongful conviction are in recent times more often dealt with by appeal rather than by pardon; however, a pardon is sometimes offered when innocence is undisputed in order to avoid the costs that are associated with a retrial. Clemency plays a critical role when capital punishment exists in a jurisdiction. Pardons are sometimes seen as a mechanism for combating corruption, allowing a par ...
