Gerald Comerford
Gerald, Gerard or Garrett Comerford (c.1558–1604) was an Irish barrister, judge and statesman of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. He sat in the Irish House of Commons in the Irish Parliament of 1585–6, and briefly held office as Chief Justice of Munster and as Baron of the Court of Exchequer. Profiting from a close family association with the Earl of Ormond, he rose rapidly to become a trusted servant of the English Crown, and would no doubt have become a dominant political figure in the south-east of Ireland had it not been for his early death.〔Clavin, Terry "Gerard Comerford" ''Dictionary of Irish Biography'' Dublin Royal Irish Academy 2009 pp.711–713〕
==Background==
He was born at Callan, County Kilkenny, the second son of Fouke (or Fulke) Comerford and his wife Rosina Rothe.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221–1921'' John Murray London 1926 Vol.1 p.312〕 His father was in the service of the Earl of Ormonde, acting as both his lawyer and his land agent.〔Carrigan, William ''History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory'' Vol.3 Dublin Sealy Bryers and Walker 1905 pp.230,306〕 The Comerford family from the 1530s onwards
became substantial landowners in County Kilkenny, although they suffered serious damage to their property during the Desmond Rebellions. In 1569 it was reported that "old Fulco Comerford of Callan" had been robbed of £2000 (a considerable forrtune at the time), together with silver, household goods, corn and cattle.〔Carrigan p.306〕
