Viscount Netterville was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1622 for Nicholas Netterville, 1st Viscount Netterville (1581–1654), son of John Netterville of Dowth, County Meath. He was a favorite of James I who in 1622 conferred the title on him "in consideration of his many good qualities".〔Cokayne, G. E. ''Complete Peerage'' Reprinted Gloucester 2000 Vol. VIII, p. 605〕 He suffered hardship in the English Civil War when the English Parliament, after the failure of the Royalist cause, sequestrated his estates, along with those of his eldest son, John, the 2nd Viscount. During the Irish Rebellion of 1641 John, who was inclined to Roman Catholicism, was accused of favouring the rebels, and it does not seem that either side in the Civil War fully trusted him.〔Lodge, John & Archdall, Mervyn ''Peerage of Ireland'' Dublin 1789 James Moore Vol 4, pp. 212–3〕Possibly for this reason his son Nicholas, the 3rd Viscount, had some difficulty after the Restoration of Charles II in recovering his estates.〔Lodge and Archdall; p. 215〕 Because of Nicholas's loyalty to James II the estates were again forfeited, but were later restored to his son John, the 4th Viscount.〔Lodge and Archdall p. 216〕 Nicholas, the 5th Viscount, who succeeded in 1727, gained notoriety in 1743 when he was charged with the murder of Michael Walsh: he was tried by his peers and acquitted.〔O'Flanagan, J. Roderick ''The Irish Bar'' London, 1879; p. 14〕 His son John, the 6th Viscount, died at a considerable age in 1826, without issue. A distant cousin, James Netterville, made a successful claim to be recognised as 7th Viscount; and after his death, leaving only daughters, another distant cousin Arthur James Netteville made out his right to be recognised as 8th Viscount. The 8th Viscount had no son and on his death in 1882 the title became extinct.〔''Burke's Extinct Peerages'' Reprinted Baltimore 1978 p.392〕 ==Viscount Netterville (1622)== *Nicholas Netterville, 1st Viscount Netterville (1581–1654) *John Netterville, 2nd Viscount Netterville (died 1659) *Nicholas Netterville, 3rd Viscount Netterville (died 1689) *John Netterville, 4th Viscount Netterville (1673–1727) *Nicholas Netterville, 5th Viscount Netterville (1708- 1750) *John Netterville, 6th Viscount Nettterville (1744–1826) *James Netterville, 7th Viscount Netterville (1773-1854) *Arthur Netterville, 8th Viscount Netterville (1800-1882). 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「Viscount Netterville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
