"When my country takes her place among the nations of the earth, then and not till then, let my epitaph be written."

Before reading about Edward Despard, l hadn't known there was an auxillary to the #UnitedIrishmen called the United Englishmen, or of the executions relating to 1803 #RobertEmmet Rising outside Dublin.

#Kildare connection: his wife Catherine left destitute stayed for a time at Lyons, near Hazelhatch. Given the interracial marriage in "Belinda", I wonder if #MariaEdgeworth knew of her.

In 1791, the first Dublin meeting of the #UnitedIrishmen takes place at the
Eagle Tavern, Eustace St.Among those attending were Theobald Wolfe Tone, Archibald Hamilton Rowan, William Drennan and James Napper Tandy.
Originally intended as a (predominantly Protestant) group agitating for parliamentary reform and Catholic Emancipation, it became more separatist over time. It was proscribed in 1793, when war broke out with France.
