- Q16863491 abstract "Ralph Rokeby (c.1527–1596) was an English barrister and judge who held high office in Ireland; he also sat briefly in the English House of Commons.He was born at Mortham in Yorkshire, the second son of Thomas Rokeby and his wife Jane Constable; Jane was the daughter of Sir Robert Constable of Cliffe, Selby, executed in 1537 for his part in the Pilgrimage of Grace, and his wife Jane Ingleby. Ralph was educated at the University of Cambridge and Lincoln's Inn, where he was called to the Bar.He first went to Ireland in the service of Queen Elizabeth I in 1566; he was recalled to England early in 1569. At the end of the same year he was appointed the first Chief Justice of Connacht, with the task of introducing the common law into the Province of Connacht. He found it a discouraging job, writing to Lord Burghley that the people of Connacht "were unwilling to embrace justice". What was needed, in his view, was the subjugation of the province by military means, or else for the English it would soon be "farewell to Ireland". Powers to impose martial law in the province and to pursue the King's enemies with "fire and sword" were in fact granted to the Chief Justice's superior, the Lord President of Connaught in 1604.Rokeby earned the regard of Adam Loftus, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and of MP William FitzWilliam, the Lord Deputy of Ireland, both of whom suggested that he might in due course replace Loftus as Lord Chancellor.He represented Huntingdon in the English Parliament of 1571, although he was presumably an absentee MP for much of the session. He returned to England for good in about 1577 and became Master of Requests about 1586. He was also employed on several commissions for the detection of recusants and traitors, including those which indicted William Parry and Anthony Babington. He sat as a judge at numerous treason trials, notably those of Philip, Earl of Arundel, Sir John Perrot, Dr Lopez and Patrick O'Collun. He was a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn and Master of St Catherine's Hospital near the Tower of London.He died on 14 June 1596 and was buried in St Andrew, Holborn. He never married, though he obtained leave of absence to do so while in Ireland; and although he had several siblings, he chose to leave his property to a variety of charities.".
