Birth and origins

Charles was born about 1570[lower-alpha 2] as the eldest son of Cormac MacDermot MacCarthy and Mary Butler.[6] His father was the 16th Lord of Muskerry.[lower-alpha 3] When he was called Cormac rather than Charles, he was distinguished from his father by the generational suffix "oge", the younger.[lower-alpha 4] His father's family were the MacCarthys of Muskerry,[19] a Gaelic Irish dynasty that had branched from the MacCarthy-Mor line in the 14th century[20][21][22] when a younger son received Muskerry as appanage.[23]

His mother was a daughter of Theobald Butler, 1st Baron Cahir.[3] His mother's family, the Butler Dynasty, was Old English and descended from Theobald Walter, who had been appointed Chief Butler of Ireland by King Henry II in 1177.[24]

He had two brothers[25][26] and a sister (see here).[27]

Religion

His father, Cormac MacDermot MacCarthy, had conformed to the established religion by adhering to the Church of Ireland.[35] Charles was educated at Oxford University[36] where Catholics were not accepted,[37] but later became Catholic.[38][39]

Marriages

First marriage and children

MacCarty married Margaret O'Brien in about 1590.[40] She was a daughter of Donogh O'Brien, 4th Earl of Thomond, called the great earl.[41] Her family, the O'Briens, were another important Gaelic Irish dynasty that descended from Brian Boru, medieval high king of Ireland.[42]

Charles and Margaret had two sons:

  1. Cormac, probably intellectually disabled,[10] died young[43] predeceasing his father[44]
  2. Donough (1594–1665), second viscount of Muskerry and first earl of Clancarty

—and five daughters:[lower-alpha 6]

Second marriage

When MacCarty's first wife died, he remarried to Ellen Roche, eldest daughter of David Roche, 7th Viscount Fermoy and widow of Donnell MacCarthy Reagh.[62][63][64] The date of the marriage is disputed. It seems that Ellen's first husband was Donal MacCarthy Reagh of Kilbrittain, that she had a son called Charles with Donal,[65] and that Donal died in 1636.[66][67] However, Jane Ohlmeyer gives 1599 as date of the marriage, more than 30 years earlier.[68][lower-alpha 8]

After MacCarthy's death his 2nd wife would marry thirdly Thomas Fitzmaurice, 3rd son of Thomas Fitzmaurice, 18th Baron Kerry by his second wife Julia Power.[63][71]

Tyrone's Rebellion

MacCarthy's father fought in Tyrone's Rebellion, also called the Nine Years' War, which lasted from 1593 to 1603. He sided with the English and fought the Spanish during the Siege of Kinsale.

Lord and Viscount

On 23 February 1616 MacCarthy succeeded his father as the 17th Lord of Muskerry.[72][4] On 15 November 1628 Charles I, King of Ireland, England and Scotland, created him Baron Blarney and Viscount Muskerry. The titles were probably bought.[73] They had a special remainder[74] that appointed his second son Donough as successor, excluding Donough's elder brother, who was alive at the time but probably insane.[10]

House of Lords

Muskerry sat in the House of Lords during the two Irish parliaments of King Charles I.[75][76][77]

Parliament of 1634–1635

The Irish Parliament of 1634–1635 was opened on 14 July 1634[78][79] by the new Lord Deputy of Ireland, Thomas Wentworth[80] (the future Lord Strafford), who had taken office in July 1633.[81] Muskerry, attended the Irish Parliament of 1634–1635 at the House of Lords. He took his seat on 14 July 1634, the day of its opening.[75] About 1640 he built a new townhouse on Dublin's College Green.[82]

Parliament of 1640–1649

The Irish Parliament of 1640–1649.[lower-alpha 9] was opened on 16 March 1640 by Christopher Wandesford, whom Strafford, as Wentworth was now called, had appointed Lord Deputy.[86][87] Strafford arrived two days later.[86] In its first session the parliament unanimously voted four subsidies of £45,000[88] (about £8,200,000 in 2020[89]) to raise an Irish army of 9000[90] for use by the King against the Scots in the Second Bishops' War. On 3 April 1640 Strafford left Ireland.[91] The Commons formed a commission of grievances that collected evidence for misbehaviour of the lord lieutenent. They sent a delegation to Westminster where they submitted the grievances to the King.

The Lords had not acted on grievances during the third parliamentary session as the Commons had done, but afterward some of them decided to send Lords Muskerry, Gormanston, Dillon, and Kilmallock to London to submit their grievances to the King.[76][77] Parliament met again on 26 January 1641.[92] Lord Deputy Wandesford had died on 3 December 1640 and the Irish government had devolved to the Lords Justices, Parsons and Borlase. The House of Lords recognised the lords who had gone to London as one of its committees[93] and excused their absence.[94] On 18 February 1641 the lords' grievances were written up in 18 articles. The lords complained that Strafford had overtaxed them.[95]

Death and timeline

On 20 February 1641 Muskerry, aged about 70, died in London[96] during his parliamentary mission. He was buried in Westminster Abbey.[lower-alpha 10] Muskerry was succeeded by his second son Donough. As the ailing elder brother had died some time before,[44] the title's special remainder did not need to be invoked.

Notes, citations, and sources

Notes

  1. Chief governor of Ireland is a general term for the King's representative and head of the executive in Ireland, whose title was either Lord Deputy or Lord Lieutenant.[1]
  2. Burke and Cokayne include Charles in their geneologies but omit his birth date.[2][3] O'Hart gives 1564,[4][5] but he also states that his father was born in 1552.[6][7] It is unlikely that his father should have procreated that young. Charles's birth year should therefore be later than 1564.
  3. According to an alternative regnal numbering scheme, his father was numbered as the 17th Lord of Muskerry.[8]
  4. There are many Cormacs among his ancestors: his father (Cormac MacDermot),[9] he himself (Cormac Oge), his eldest (probably insane) son,[10] and his grandson.[11] He carried the generational suffix "oge",[12] (cf. Irish óg, young).[13][14] Many examples for the use of og, óg, oge, or óge can be given in this sense and context.[15][14] The form with the final e seems to be rarer: but occurs in the names Henry O'Neill, Hugh Oge O'Neill, Hugh Oge MacMahon, John Óge Burke, John Óge Lynch, Richard Óge Martyn and William Óge Martyn. With progressive anglicisation at least two of these Cormacs were also called Charles: he himself[16] and his eldest grandson.[17][18]
  5. This family tree is based on a tree focused on his son Donough and his grandchildren[28] and on genealogies of the Earls of Clancarty,[29][30] the MacCarthy of Muskerry family,[31] the Earls of Thomond,[32][33] and the Earls of Ormond.[34] Also see the lists of siblings and children in the text.
  6. Burke (1866)[45] and Lainé (1836)[46] each list only three sisters. Lodge (1789) indicates that Mary is the second daughter[47] and mentions a fifth, Helen, but omits the name of the mother. Helen could be from his father's second marriage.[48]
  7. Burke (1866) lists three daughters of the 1st Viscount Muskerry, calling them Mary, Eleanor, and (by error) Eleanor again. This 2nd Eleanor, he says, married John Power.[53] He mentions her as Elena being the ancestress that links William Trench, 1st Earl of Clancarty of the 2nd creation to Donough MacCarty of the 1st creation.[54][55]
  8. Ellen Roche's father is thought to have been born in 1573.[69][70] If he married at 20 and had her immediately, she would reach 15 in 1608, making 1599 as date of her 2nd marriage impossible.
  9. Also called the "Parliament of 1639–1648"[83] as its start date and end date are both affected by the shift in the start of the year from 25 March to 1 January in the calendar reform of 1750. The opening date, the 16 March 1640, was still in 1639 according to the Old Style (O.S.) calendar, in force in Great Britain and Ireland at the time. Similarly, the end date, the 30th of January 1649 (the execution of Charles I),[84] was still in 1648 according to O.S.[85]
  10. Sources agree that the 1st Viscount Muskerry died in London and was buried in Westminster Abbey.[97] Cokayne states, he died on 20 February 1640[98] and was buried on 27 May.[99] The Abbey's registers state that a Viscount Musgrove from Ireland was buried there on 27 May 1640.[100] This Musgrove has been identified with Muskerry.[101] The deformation is not too far-fetched as his name has also been deformed to Musgrave.[102] However, parliamentary records show that his son and heir Donough MacCarty served as MP in the Irish House of Commons in March 1640.[103] His father must therefore have died in February 1641.[104][105]
