Information AboutWilliam Power Keating Trench, 1st Earl Of Clancarty |
|
He was an Member Of Parliament in the Irish House Of Commons , supporting the Whigs. He was advanced to the Irish House Of Lords as Baron Kilconnel (created 25 November 1797), and to the position of Viscount Dunlo (created 3 January 1801) as a reward for his continuing support of the Whig Party . On 12 February 1803 he became Earl Of Clancarty . His choice of this title is said to have been derived from a tenuous link to the Munster Earls of Clancarty, who had been deprived of the title by the English Crown. He therefore became the first Earl of Clancarty in its second creation and had no shortage of male heirs, ten in all. He was succeeded by Richard Le Poer Trench, 2nd Earl Of Clancarty . His seat was at Garbally, Ballinasloe , County Galway , Ireland . EXTERNAL LINKS
