    Notes 
    • Sir Robert Travers studied law at Oxford, and returned to Ireland to become vicar-general of the diocese of Meath - meaning that he handled the bishop's finances. He was accused of bribery, misappropriation and extortion, and in 1621 was convicted and fined £300. Nevertheless he was knighted four years later, and became a judge; again he was accused of taking bribes and other crimes. He was a member of the Irish parliament for Clonakilty in 1634, and as a supporter of Charles I against Cromwell, he was killed in the battle of Knocknoness in 1647.
