| 词条 | Edward King (bishop of Elphin) |
| 释义 |
King was an Englishman, a native of Huntingdonshire.[2] His predecessor as bishop of Elphin, John Lynch, greatly impoverished the see by alienating properties and in 1611 resigned, declaring himself a Roman Catholic. During more than a quarter of a century as bishop, King was able to recover Lynch's alienations and much improved the revenue of the diocese.[2] Dod's Peerage of 1848 says of him that "...his bishopric, which he found the poorest, he left one of the richest in all Ireland".[3] In 1638, King was offered the Archbishopric of Tuam, but "flatly refused".[4] Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, Lord Deputy of Ireland, mentions him honourably in a letter to William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury, calling him "truly a Royal bishop".[3] King is the ancestor of the King Baronets of Charlestown,[3] and the title is now held by his descendant Sir Wayne Alexander King, 8th Baronet (b. 1962).
