Family history Lord of Roscommon

Lord of Roscommon

Die Earls of Roscommon stammten aus der Familie Dillon, die sich im Mittelalter in den irischen Midlands niederließ. Ihr Kerngebiet lag um Kilkenny West in der Grafschaft Westmeath und wurde „Dillon’s Country“ genannt. Durch Landbesitz, Ausbildung und königliche Ämter stiegen Familienzweige zu Vermittlern zwischen lokalen Grundherren und der Verwaltung in Dublin auf.

Sir Lucas Dillon wurde im 16. Jahrhundert als Richter und Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer bekannt. Sein Sohn James setzte die Laufbahn fort und erhielt 1619 den Titel Baron Dillon of Kilkenny-West. 1622 erhob König Jakob I. ihn zum ersten Earl of Roscommon. Der Name bezog sich auf die Grafschaft und dortigen Familienbesitz.

Robert, der zweite Earl, war Jurist, Mitglied des irischen Kronrats und zeitweise Lord Justice. Die politischen und religiösen Spannungen des 17. Jahrhunderts stellten das Haus dennoch vor schwierige Entscheidungen. Sein Enkel Wentworth Dillon, vierter Earl, verbrachte seine Jugend in Frankreich und Italien. Nach der Restauration Karls II. erhielt er Titel und Güter zurück, wandte sich später der Literatur zu und gehörte zum Kreis um John Dryden. Sein „Essay on Translated Verse“ von 1684 machte Roscommon zu einem bemerkenswerten Dichternamen der englischen Restaurationszeit.

Da Wentworths Sohn früh starb, folgten weitere Dillon-Zweige. Colonel Cary Dillon wurde fünfter Earl und erhielt 1669 Ländereien in Galway und Roscommon. Über mehrere Generationen blieb der Titel innerhalb der weitverzweigten Familie, während Besitz, Militärdienst und parlamentarische Aufgaben unterschiedliche Lebenswege eröffneten.

Nach dem Tod des zwölften Earls Michael James Robert Dillon im Jahr 1850 wurde keine Nachfolge allgemein anerkannt. Die Familiengeschichte lebt jedoch in anderen Dillon-Linien, umfangreichen irischen Archiven und Wentworths Werk fort. Ein roter Löwe, Halbmonde und Sterne im Wappen erinnern an ein Haus, das Recht, Politik und Literatur miteinander verband.
