Sir Redmond Everard, 4th Baronet
Sir Redmond Everard, 4th Baronet (c.1689 – 13 April 1742) was an Irish baronet and politician. He was the youngest son of Sir John Everard, 3rd Baronet, whose family effectively owned the town of Fethard in County Tipperary.[1] His mother was the Hon. Eleanor Butler, daughter of Thomas Cahir, 6th Baron Cahir.[2]
He sat in the Irish House of Commons as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Kilkenny City from 1711 to 1713,[3] and for Fethard, County Tipperary from 1713 to 1715.[3] Although he took the Oath of Supremacy to qualify for his seat, his loyalty to the House of Hanover was suspect, and after the failure of the Jacobite rising of 1715 he felt it wise to retire to France, where he settled near Paris; he never returned to Ireland.[4]
In June 1723, the claimant King James III & VIII ennobled Everard as Viscount Everard in the Jacobite Peerage.[1] He died in France on 13 April 1742, without heirs: he left his property to his widow Mary for her lifetime, and after her death to a distant cousin from another branch of the Everard family. His titles became extinct on his death.[1]
