- Hugh_de_Burgh abstract "Hugh de Burgh (died c. 1351) was a Crown official and judge in fourteenth-century Ireland, who held the offices of Lord High Treasurer of Ireland and Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer. He was praised for his good service to the Crown, but later accused of oppression.Although he may have been born in England, he belonged to the Anglo-Irish de Burgh dynasty; he was a cousin of William Donn de Burgh, 3rd Earl of Ulster, and later acted as attorney for the Earl's daughter and heiress Elizabeth. Despite later complaints about his conduct, he was at least better qualified for the Bench than some of his colleagues, since Barons of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland) in particular were often accused then of being deficient in knowledge of the law. As was then common for those seeking a career on the Bench, he was in holy orders.He was in the service of the Crown in 1331 when he visited Ireland; and later became Irish attorney to Queen Philippa of Hainault. In 1335 he became third Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland). In 1337 he was continued in office for four years in consideration of past good service, and shortly after became Chief Baron. He was appointed Keeper of the Great Seal of Ireland in 1339 and Lord Treasurer in 1340. He was reappointed Chief Baron in 1344.In 1347 he was accused of misconduct, and a commission of oyer and terminer was set up to inquire into his official oppression: precisely what form the oppression took is unclear: later charges against his successor John de Burnham were concerned with fraud and financial mismanagement, and it seems that the Privy Council of Ireland had some doubts about de Burgh's honesty. This was part of a wider dissatisfaction with the King's ministers and the commission was soon extended into a general examination of official wrongdoing. John de Burnham, an English Crown official with long experience of financial administration was sent to Ireland as Treasurer to reform the perceived abuses, only to spend much of his career fighting similar charges. The following year de Burgh went to England to justify himself and received a royal pardon. He remained Chief Baron until 1351 when he probably died.".
