Robert Travers (MP)
Sir Robert Travers (c.1596–1647) was an Irish judge, soldier and politician of the early seventeenth century. Despite a reputation for serious corruption, he had a highly successful career until the outbreak of the English Civil War, when he went into opposition to King Charles I of England; he fought in the English Civil War on the side of the Irish Parliament, and was killed at the Battle of Knocknanuss. He was a nephew of the poet Edmund Spenser.〔Hales, John Wesley and Lee, Sidney "Edmund Spenser" ''Dictionary of National Biography 1885–1900'' Vol. 53 p.384〕 He was the ancestor of a notable military family.
==Background==
Robert was born in County Cork about 1596, the elder son of John Travers and Sarah Spenser, sister of Edmund Spenser. The Travers family, originallly from Lancashire, came to Ireland about the middle of the sixteenth century. Sarah is thought to have come to Ireland to keep house for her brother Edmund,〔DNB p.590〕 who after the downfall of the Earl of Desmond was granted a part of the Desmond inheritance, including Kilcolman Castle; Edmund granted a portion of his lands to John as a wedding gift. John and Sarah were buried in Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral; Robert erected a memorial to them, but the Cathedral has been so much altered since then that no trace of it survives.〔DNB p.394〕
