Edward King (bishop of Elphin)
Edward King DD (died 8 March 1639) was a Church of Ireland Bishop of Elphin from 1611 to 1639.〔Fryde, E. B., ''et al.'', ''Handbook of British Chronology'' (Cambridge University Press, 1996) (p. 392 )〕
King was an Englishman, a native of Huntingdonshire.〔 His predecessor as bishop of Elphin, John Lynch, greatly impoverished the see by alienating properties and in 1611 resigned, declaring himself a Roman Catholic. During more than a quarter of a century as bishop, King was able to recover Lynch's alienations and much improved the revenue of the diocese.〔Haydn, Joseph, ''The Book of Dignities'' (London: Longmans, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1851) (p. 483 )〕 Dod's ''Peerage'' of 1848 says of him that "...his bishopric, which he found the poorest, he left one of the richest in all Ireland".〔Dod, Charles R., ''The Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage, of Great Britain and Ireland'' (1848) (p. 279 )〕
In 1638, King was offered the Archbishopric of Tuam, but "flatly refused".〔McCafferty, John, ''The Reconstruction of the Church of Ireland'' (Cambridge University Press, 2007) (p. 145 )〕 Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, Lord Deputy of Ireland, mentions him honourably in a letter to William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury, calling him "truly a ''Royal'' bishop".〔
King is the ancestor of the King Baronets of Charlestown,〔 and the title is now held by his descendant Sir Wayne Alexander King, 8th Baronet (b. 1962).
