WANDESFORD, CHRISTOPHER (1592-1640)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 303 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WANDESFORD, CHRISTOPHER (1592-1640) , lord deputy of Ireland, was the son of Sir George
Wandesford
  (15731612) of Kirklington, Yorkshire, and was born on the 24th of September 1592. Educated at Clare College,
Cambridge
 , he entered
parliament
  in 1621, and his rise to importance was due primarily to his friendship with Sir
Thomas
  Wentworth, afterwards
earl
  of Strafford. Although at first hostile to Charles I., this being evidenced by the active part he took in the
impeachment
  of Buckingham,
Wandesford
  soon became a royalist partisan, and in 1633 he accompanied Wentworth to Ireland, where he was already master of the rolls. His services to his
chief
  were fully recognized by the latter, whom in 1640 he succeeded as lord deputy, but he had only just begun to struggle with the difficulties of his new position when he died on the 3rd of December 1640.
His son Christopher (16281687), created a
baronet
  in 1662, was the father of Sir Christopher Wandesford (d. 1707), who was created an Irish peer as Viscount Castlecomer in 1707, Castlecomer in Kilkenny having been acquired by his grandfather when in Ireland. Christopher, the 2nd viscount (d. 1719), was secretaryat-war in 17171718. In 1758 John, 5th viscount, was created
Earl
  Wandesford, but his titles became
extinct
  when he died in January 1784.
For Wandesford's life see
Thomas
  Comber, Memoirs of the Life and Death of the Lord Deputy Wandesford (
Cambridge
 , 1778) ; T. D. Whitaker, History of Richmondshire, vol. ii. (1823) ; and the Auto-biography of his daughter, Alice Thornton, edited by Charles Jackson for the Surtees Society (Durham, 1875).
