Christopher St Lawrence, 8th Baron Howth
Christopher St Lawrence, 8th Baron Howth (died 1589) was an Irish peer. He was a member of the Privy Council of Ireland, and played a leading part in the Irish Government in the 1560s; but he later went into opposition and was imprisoned as a result. He was nicknamed ''the blind lord''. He was a man of considerable learning, who may have written part of the historical compilation called ''The Book of Howth''. On the other hand, he was notorious for his domestic cruelty and was imprisoned for ill-treating his wife and causing the death of his daughter.
== Early life ==
He was born sometime after 1509, the third son of Christopher St Lawrence, 5th Baron Howth and his wife Anne Bermingham. He was the brother of Edward St Lawrence, 6th Baron Howth and Richard St Lawrence, 7th Baron Howth Since he was a younger son without much prospect of inheriting the title, not a great deal is recorded of his early years. He entered Lincoln's Inn in 1544 and was practising at the English bar ten years later: his legal knowledge later made him an effective leader of the opposition to the Crown's taxation policies. It is not known when he was afflicted with blindness, nor whether he went totally blind. By 1556 he had returned to Ireland and was managing one of the family estates.〔Ball F.
