John Everard (MP) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Everard (MP) Sir John Everard (c.1550–1624) was an Irish barrister, politician and judge. He was notable as being the last Irish judge until the reign of James II to openly profess the Roman Catholic faith, and this led eventually to his resignation from the Bench. He then embarked on a political career which descended into farce when, having failed to become Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, he refused to vacate the Speaker's chair until the successful candidate Sir John Davies (a very fat man) literally sat on him. His second son, Sir Richard Everard, was the first of the Everard baronets of Ballyboy.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221–1921'' John Murray London 1926 Vol. 1 pp.227–8〕 ==Background==
He was a native of Fethard, County Tipperary, son of Redmond Everard, head of a Roman Catholic family which effectively owned the town of Fethard.〔Ball p.227〕 He entered the Inner Temple in 1578 and was called to the Bar in 1590. In 1602 he was appointed justice of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland) and knighted. He went regularly on assize in Meath, Louth and Kilkenny.〔Ball p.227〕
