John Plunket
Sir John Plunket (c.1497–1582) was an Irish politician and judge of the Tudor era who held the office of Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. He was also a member of the Privy Council of Ireland and was regarded by three successive English monarchs as a reliable supporter of the Crown. He was noted for integrity, but was criticised for remaining in office after old age and illness had made him unfit for it. He is also notable as the fifth of the six husbands of Jenet Sarsfield.
He was the eldest son of Christopher Plunket of Dunsoghly Castle, Finglas, and his wife Catherine Bermingham. His grandfathers, Thomas Plunket and Philip Bermingham, had presided respectively over the Court of Common Pleas and the Court of King's Bench. His precise date of birth is unknown but Elrington Ball believed that he was at least 85 when he died. He joined the Inner Temple and was Master of Revels there in 1518. He entered the service of Richard Delahide, Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas, who had married his sister Jenet; Delahide arranged for him to be appointed to a clerical office in the Common Pleas. He inherited Dunsoghly sometime before 1547.
