From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Earl of Burlington.
Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Burlington, 2nd Earl of Cork (October 20, 1612
? January 15, 1698) was Lord High Treasurer of Ireland and a cavalier.
Early years
He was born in The College in Youghal, the second son and sixth child
of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork and his second wife, formerly
Catherine Fenton. Richard Boyle jnr., was knighted on August 13, 1624,
at his father's house in Youghal, by Lord Falkland, the Lord Deputy of
Ireland. He then went on travels abroad with an annual allowance of
?1500.
Civil War
In 1639 he undertook to raise, arm, and provide 100 horse to attend
upon King Charles I in his expedition into the north of England against
the Scots. For this and other occasions his father supplied him with
?5553 sterling. Richard Boyle was returned as Member of Parliament for
Appleby in the Long Parliament of 1640, and appointed a member of the
Privy Council of England, but was subsequently excluded for his Royalist
sympathies after the outbreak of the English Civil War.
He and Lord Inchiquin commanded the forces which defeated the Irish
irregular army at the Battle of Liscarroll on 3 September 1642, thereby
preserving the Protestant interest in southern Ireland for the remainder
of the decade. A cessation of hostilities was concluded with the Irish a
year later (September 15, 1643). He then applied to the King, in
December, for consent to bring his regiment to serve him in England,
and landed his men near Chester the following February. He then
marched to the King's aid in Dorset, supplying this monarch with large
sums of money for his cause.
He fought throughout the Civil War until the final defeat of the Royalist
forces. The Commonwealth fined him ?1631 sterling and he then went
abroad, returning to Ireland at the request of the government, dated
January 2, 1651.
Peerages and appointments
Upon the death of his brother Lord Boyle of Kinalmeaky on 2 September
1642, Richard Boyle succeeded as 2nd Viscount Boyle of Kinalmeaky.
King Charles I thereafter created him Baron Clifford of Lanesborough, in
the County of York, on November 4, 1644. He succeeded as 2nd Earl of
Cork upon the death of his father on September 15, 1643.
Following the Restoration Lord Cork was appointed a Privy Councillor;
and Lord Treasurer of Ireland on 16 November 1660. On February 22,
1660 he was made Custos Rotulorum of the counties of Cork and
Waterford, and, on March 19, 1660, was appointed one of the
Commissioners for the settlement of Ireland following the King's
declaration to that effect of November 30, 1659. On June 25, 1661, he
took his seat above all the peers, as Lord Treasurer, in the Irish
Parliament.
He had a reversionary grant date July 5, 1661, of the command of a
troop of horse, and on March 24, 1662, he was made governor of the
fort of Harbouling on the river Cork, @ six shillings a day.
King Charles II created him Earl of Burlington on 20 March 1664, and on
March 13, 1666, he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire.
The Earl of Cork with several other noblemen and Bishops of the Church
of Ireland were opposed to the attempts of King James II regarding the
restoration of Roman Catholicism and petitioned the King on November
17, 1688 to call a parliament "regular and free in all its circumstances".
This petition had a hostile reception from James. Following the arrival
of William of Orange in England King James removed to Ireland where
he called a parliament in 1689, which passed a general act of attainder
against the Protestants, and confiscated their estates, among whom
was the earl of Cork. This was overturned by King William the following
year.
On March 3, 1691, he was appointed one of the newly incorporated
Society of the Royal Fishery in Ireland.
[edit]Family and Death
At the age of 22 he married the 21-year-old Lady Elizabeth Clifford,
daughter of Henry Clifford, 5th Earl of Cumberland, on 5 July 1635 in
Skipton Castle. They had six children:
Charles Boyle, Viscount Dungarvan (1639?1694).
Richard Boyle, who died on 3 June 1665 at the Battle of Lowestoft.
Frances Boyle.
Elizabeth Boyle, who married Nicholas Tufton, 3rd Earl of Thanet.
Mary Anne Boyle, who married Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Sandwich.
Henrietta Boyle, who married Lawrence Hyde, 1st Earl of Rochester.
Lord Burlington died on 6 January 1698 and was buried on 3 February
1698 at Londesborough in Yorkshire. He was succeeded by his
grandson, Charles Boyle, 2nd Earl of Burlington.
