John Netterville, 2nd Viscount Netterville : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Netterville, 2nd Viscount Netterville John Netterville, 2nd Viscount Netterville (c.1603-1659) was an Irish peer, soldier and statesman. He was noted for his strong Roman Catholic beliefs and strong support for the Catholic cause; this led him during the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and the ensuing Civil Wars to play a double game, offering support to both the Crown and the rebels, with the result that no party to the conflict fully trusted him. He was charged with treason by the Government of Charles I and his estates were forfeited by Oliver Cromwell, but he survived to die a natural death. ==Background and early career== He was born at Dowth in Meath, eldest son of Nicholas Netterville, 1st Viscount Netterville and his first wife Eleanor Bathe.〔''Burke's Extinct Peerages'' 1978 Reprint p.392〕 His father was a favourite of James I who ennobled him in 1621 "in consideration of his good qualities". In time Nicholas like his son was to be accused of disloyalty to the English Crown- in both cases the motive seems to have been the desire to restore the Roman Catholic faith (two of Nicholas' younger sons were Jesuits).〔Bagwell, Richard "John Netterville" ''Dictionary of National Biography 1885-1900'' vol. 40 p.237〕 In 1623 John married Lady Elizabeth Weston, daughter of Richard Weston, 1st Earl of Portland, the future Lord Treasurer.〔Bagwell, p.236〕 The marriage gave him influence at Court and a useful ally in promoting toleration of Catholics, since Portland was a Catholic convert. In November 1632, shortly after the appointment of Wentworth as Deputy, John and other prominent Catholics petitioned him not to enforce the Penal Laws.〔Bagwell, p.236〕
