Sir Henry Lynch, 3rd Baronet Sir Henry Lynch, 3rd Baronet (died 1691) was an Irish landowner, barrister and judge. He was one of the Roman Catholic judges appointed by James II of England in his effort to transform the religious character of the Irish administration. As a judge Lynch was described in unflattering terms both by contemporaries and later historians. Unlike some of his judicial colleagues, he was accused of gross bias against Protestants, which may be why he was one of the few Catholic Irish judges who fled abroad after the downfall of James's cause following the Battle of the Boyne. He died in exile in France.
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.
