The High Sheriff of County Kilkenny was the British Crown's judicial representative in County Kilkenny, Ireland from the 16th century until 1922, when the office was abolished in the new Free State and replaced by the office of Kilkenny County Sheriff. The sheriff had judicial, electoral, ceremonial and administrative functions and executed High Court Writs. In 1908, an Order in Council made the Lord-Lieutenant the Sovereign's prime representative in a county and reduced the High Sheriff's precedence. However the sheriff retained his responsibilities for the preservation of law and order in the county. The usual procedure for appointing the sheriff from 1660 onwards was that three persons were nominated at the beginning of each year from the county and the Lord Lieutenant then appointed his choice as High Sheriff for the remainder of the year. Often the other nominees were appointed as under-sheriffs. Sometimes a sheriff did not fulfil his entire term through death or other event and another sheriff was then appointed for the remainder of the year. The dates given hereunder are the dates of appointment. All addresses are in County Kilkenny unless stated otherwise. == High Sheriffs of County Kilkenny== *1327: Fulk de la Freyne *1346: Roger de la Freyne *1382: John Sweetman *1388: Gilbert Blancheville *1398: John FitzRichard Blancheville *1447–1448: David Blanchewille *1450: David Blanchewille *1489: Piers Butler, 8th Earl of Ormond *1536: Rowland Fitzgerald (alias Barron), Baron of Burnchurch *1543: James Eweetman *1564: William Sweetman *1579: Richard Fitzgerald, Baron of Burnchurch *1579–1586: Walter Walsh of Castlehale *1588: Sir Richard Shee *1640: Edward Butler, 1st Viscount Galmoye *1654: John Ponsonby〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= The Peerage )〕 *1665: Edward Evans *1669: Tobias Cramer of Ballyfoyle〔A genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry of Ireland, 1912, Bernard Burke〕 *1678: Henry Webb of Ballinrobe〔 *1683: Balthazer Cramer〔〔 *1694: Ebenezer Warren of Lodge〔 *1693: George Reade〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High Sheriff of County Kilkenny」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
