- Robert_Dowdall abstract "Sir Robert Dowdall (died 1482) was an Irish judge who held the office of Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas for more than forty years.He was the son of Luke Dowdall of County Louth. The Dowdalls were a Derbyshire family which originated at Dovedale, and came to Ireland in the thirteenth century. Later members of the family included George Dowdall, Archbishop of Armagh, James Dowdall, the Catholic martyr, and James Dowdall, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland.He was appointed Serjeant-at-law (Ireland) in 1435 and Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland) in 1438; he held that office until his death in 1482. He was Deputy Treasurer of Ireland in 1461 and was knighted the same year.He married Anne Wogan of Rathcoffey, County Kildare, in 1454. He resided mainly at Clontarf near Dublin. He was a companion of the Brotherhood of Saint George, a short-lived military order founded by King Edward IV in 1474 for the defence of the Pale.Dowdall is mainly remembered for the murderous assault on him in 1462 by Sir James Keating, Prior of the Knights Hospitallers. Dowdall, making a pilgrimage to a holy well near Kilmainham was attacked by Keating with a sword and was put in fear of his life. The motive for the attack is unknown: Elrington Ball, comparing it to the murder of James Cornwalsh, Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, twenty years earlier, argued that crimes of violence were indigenous to medieval Ireland. However equally savage crimes took place in in contemporary England, such as the murder of Nicholas Radford by Thomas Courtenay, 6th Earl of Devon, and it is arguable that such incidents demonstrate a general breakdown of law and order in both kingdoms in the reign of Henry VI. Keating, despite his clerical rank, seems to have been a violent and turbulent individual, who was disgraced many years later for his part in the attempt to put the pretender Lambert Simnel on the throne of England.By his wife Anne Robert had at least one son, Thomas Dowdall, Master of the Rolls in Ireland, through whom he was the ancestor of James Dowdall, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland.".
