Henry Burnell (author) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Burnell (author) Henry Burnell (c.1590-c.1654) was an Irish politician, playwright and landowner. The details of his life are poorly recorded, but he was a prominent member of the Irish Confederacy, whose family lost their possessions after the failure of the Irish Rebellion of 1641. He is now remembered mainly as the author of ''Landgartha'', the first play by an Irish playwright to be produced in an Irish theatre, and as the father of the poet Eleanor Burnell. ==Family== He was the son of Christopher Burnell of Balgriffin, and grandson of Henry Burnell, Recorder of Dublin, who died in 1614.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221-1921'' John Murray London 1926 Vol.1 p.223〕 The Burnell family had been landowners in Dublin since the late fourteenth century and were Lords of the Manors of Balgriffin and Castleknock. They had a long tradition of public service as judges, especially on the Court of Exchequer (Ireland). They were stubbornly Roman Catholic in their religious beliefs and as a result their loyalty to the Crown was often suspect. Little is known of Henry's personal life, except that he was rich enough to marry the Earl of Roscommon's daughter; much of his money was probably inherited from his grandfather, who made a fortune at the Irish Bar.
