Henry Piers

Henry Piers, Esq (1568–1623), also spelt Henry Pierce or Perse, was an Anglo-Irish landowner and Member of Parliament who held the estate of Tristernagh Abbey in the early 17th century.
==Life==
He was the only son of William Piers, a Yorkshireman who had been granted land in Ireland by Elizabeth I in return for military and other services. His mother was Ann Holt, of Holt Castle on the north Welsh borders. Henry married Jane Jones, daughter of Thomas Jones, Archbishop of Dublin, and had eight children.〔''The Peerage of Ireland'', v2, 1789, p.201〕 He served as the secretary to Lord Deputy Chichester and represented the potwalloper constituency of Baltimore in the 1613 Irish Parliament.〔Clarke, A. ''Prelude to Restoration in Ireland'', CUP, 1999, p.191〕 In addition to his father's estates at Tristernagh he also acquired plantation land in Cavan.
Henry Piers converted to Catholicism later in life, after "conversing with many of the Romish church" according to a family memoir (which also claimed he did so "against the advice of his wife").〔 He subsequently travelled on the Continent for some 8 years and on his return converted a number of his children, one of whom, Thomas Piers, was said to have become a Franciscan friar.〔Mícheál Ó Cléirigh, ''Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland'', v5, 1856, p.1620〕 He also wrote a book describing his travels,〔Brewer, J. N. ''The Beauties of Ireland'', v2, 1826, p.239〕 the manuscript of which eventually came to Sir James Ware.
Henry Piers was buried in a tomb in the now-ruined chapel of Templecross, which stands at the gates to Tristernagh demesne. An altar monument bearing the Piers arms and a Latin inscription still exists in the ruins; the inscription commemorates Henry Piers as a "hospitable native" of "renowned piety" who repaired Tristernagh Abbey.〔Woods, J. ''Annals of Westmeath'', Sealy, Bryers and Walker, 1907, p.307〕 A translation and drawing of the inscription are given in James Woods' ''Annals of Westmeath''.
