  1. From Irish Wig Rebel to Bourbon Diplomat: The Life and Career of Nathaniel Hooke (1664-1738)

    Byrne, ThomasNUI Maynooth2006

    This thesis examines the career of Nathaniel Hooke (1664-1738). Born to an Anglo-Irish Protestant family in Dublin, he became involved with Whig radicals opposed to Charles II and James II in 1680s England. Hooke was the only Irish participant in Monmouth's rebellion in 1685. After experiencing …
