Maurice Eustace (Lord Chancellor)
Sir Maurice Eustace (c.1590 – 22 June 1665) was an Irish politician, barrister and judge of the seventeenth century who spent the last years of his career as Lord Chancellor of Ireland, an office for which he felt himself to be unfit, and in which he was generally agreed to be a failure.
==Family background==
Eustace was born between 1590 and 1595, at Castlemartin, County Kildare, eldest of the three sons of John FitzWilliam Eustace, Constable of Naas (died 1623). Little appears to be known of his mother. The Eustaces of Castlemartin were a branch of the FitzEustace family who held the title Viscount Baltinglass, but unlike their cousins the Castlemartin branch of family played no part in the Desmond Rebellions, most of them being noted for their loyalty to the Crown. Maurice in time was to recover much of the property forfeited by his cousins.〔O'Flanagan, J. Roderick ''Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of Ireland'' 2 volumes London 1870〕 In religion the family seem to have been divided in sympathy; his granduncle, also named Maurice Eustace, was denounced to the authorities as a Jesuit in 1581 and executed. The judge himself, though a Protestant, was exceptionally tolerant in matters of religion. The later Sir Maurice Eustace, first and last of the Eustace baronets, belonged to the same branch of the family: he should not be confused with a third Sir Maurice Eustace who was the Lord Chancellor's nephew.
