James Dillon, 1st Earl of Roscommon (died March 1642) was an Irish peer. Roscommon was descended from a long-established Anglo-Norman family which is recorded in Ireland from about 1185, and held substantial lands in Meath, Westmeath, Longford and Roscommon. He was the eldest son and heir of Sir Lucas Dillon, Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, and his first wife Jane Bathe, daughter of James Bathe.[1] Roscommon raised a troop of 25 horse loyal to Elizabeth I at his own expense in 1599, to help keep order in County Roscommon. He was knighted by the Queen in 1600. On 24 January 1619 he was raised to the peerage with the title of Baron Dillon of Kilkenny-West, in the Peerage of Ireland.[2] He was furthered honoured when he was made Earl of Roscommon on 5 August 1622.[3] Roscommon was a signatory of the response to Charles I from the Lords of the Pale in 1625, which established a force of soldiers to protect The Crown's interests in Ireland.[4] In 1627, he was a Commissioner for raising money for the King's Army in Meath, Westmeath and Longford. He married Eleanor Barnewall, the second daughter of Sir Christopher Barnewall of Turvey, Dublin and his wife Marion Sherle, and had at least nine children, including Robert, the second Earl, Lucas, from whom later Earls were descended, and Frances, who married the playwright and politician Henry Burnell and had numerous children, including the poet Eleanor Burnell. He was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son, Robert.[5] References1. ^Cracroft's Peerage: The Complete Guide to the British Peerage & Baronetage - 'Roscommon, Earl of (I, 1622 - 1850)' http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk/online/content/roscommon1622.htm {{S-start}}{{s-reg|ie}}{{s-new |creation}}{{s-ttl |title=Earl of Roscommon |years=1622–1641}}{{s-aft |after=Robert Dillon}}{{s-new |creation}}{{s-ttl |title=Baron Dillon of Kilkenny West |years=1619–1641}}{{s-aft |after=Robert Dillon}}{{S-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Roscommon, James Dillon, 1st Earl of}}2. ^John Debrett, The Peerage of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland, Volume 2 (1809), 675. 3. ^Cracroft's Peerage: The Complete Guide to the British Peerage & Baronetage - 'Roscommon, Earl of (I, 1622 - 1850)' http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk/online/content/roscommon1622.htm 4. ^Aidan Clarke, 'The Army and Politics in Ireland 1625-30', Studia Hibernica (No. 4, 1964), 34. 5. ^Cracroft's Peerage: The Complete Guide to the British Peerage & Baronetage - 'Roscommon, Earl of (I, 1622 - 1850)' http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk/online/content/roscommon1622.htm 6 : Year of birth uncertain|1642 deaths|Earls in the Peerage of Ireland|17th-century Irish people|16th-century Irish people|People of Elizabethan Ireland |
