Edmond Butler, 3rd/13th Baron Dunboyne Edmond Butler, 3rd/13th Baron Dunboyne (1595 – 1640) was an Anglo-Irish nobleman. His relatively short life was marked by violence and conflict. His father was murdered when Edmond was a small child and Edmond as an adult was forced to pursue a lengthy lawsuit against his uncle who sought to disinherit him. In 1627 he killed his cousin James Prendergast, and as a result was tried by his peers for manslaughter, but was acquitted.
