John Rawson, 1st Viscount Clontarf
John Rawson, 1st and only Viscount Clontarf (–1547) was an English-born statesman in sixteenth-century Ireland, who was regarded as one of the mainstays of English rule. He was the last Prior of the Kilmainham house of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem; this was a fighting order and Rawson himself was an experienced soldier who took part in the Siege of Rhodes. Despite taking holy orders, he was not celibate, and had several natural children. At the Reformation, with only a little reluctance, he surrendered all his Order's properties in return for a pension and the title of viscount.
==Background==
He came from a family which had long been settled at Fryston village in the West Riding of Yorkshire. His father, Richard Rawson, moved to London, where he became an alderman and a warden of the Mercers' Company.〔Cokayne, G. E. ''The Complete Peerage'' Reprinted Gloucester 2000 Vol.III, p. 334〕 John's mother, Isabella Craford, died in 1497. He had at least one brother Richard (died 1543), who was a royal chaplain.
