V.G. if) Her Christian name (Elizabeth) is mentioned; yet an adventuress named Catherine Stainfort, widow of Alexander Downes, is referred to several times under date 1649 as " now wife " [? mistress] of this Earl. {Hist. MSB. Com., 15th Report, App., part 2, p. 108). C") He was a very capable and active soldier, engaged almost constantly all his life in warfare, and doing a good deal with indifferent material. (■=) Under the Act of Pari. 1678 (which passed over George Tuchet, a Benedic- tine monk then living, the 2nd son of the 2nd Earl), he was heir to the English honours, and on the death of the said George (the date and place of which is unknown) he would have been (and probably, before 1684, was) heir to the Irish honours. {^) As in his Protests he is sometimes associated with the Tories, at others with the Whigs, it is difficult to determine his general politics.
