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.
