Ignatius Whiteとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Ignatius White, one of six brothers, was born in Ireland about 1626. He was the son of Sir Dominick White, Mayor of Limerick in 1636 and Christina, daughter of Thomas, 4th Baron Bourke of Castleconnell. White and some of his brothers were acting as spies for various European governments by the mid-1650s and raising troops for the Spanish army (notably his brother Richard, alias Don Ricardo White). Ignatius White also performed some diplomatic services for the British government. In 1679 he and his father were created Count of Alby and Marquis of Albeville by Emperor Leopold I, for themselves and their descendants. The titles of Count and Marquis were added to titles in the Holy Roman Empire inherited from their direct ancestor, another Dominick White, who was knighted upon the field of battle by Maximilian I and created a Baron (Freiherr) of the Holy Roman Empire in 1513. Upon James II's accession to the British throne, Ignatius White of Albeville became a royal advisor and in 1687 went to the Hague as envoy extraordinary. After the revolution, Albeville followed James into exile at St. Germain and died there in 1694. By his wife, Mary Warron, he was the father of several daughters who remained in France or settled in Spain:

• Anna White, who married Don Julián de O'Kallaghan
• Catherine White, who married Antoine de Sartine, Knight of the Order of St. Michael. Their son, Antoine de Sartine, Comte d'Alby, was Secretary of State for the Navy under Louis XVI of France.
• Winifred White, who married Antonio Álvarez de Bohorques, Marqués de Ruchena
• Mary White, who married Timon Connock, Brigadier and sub-governor for the Infante D. Phelipe
• Theresa White, who married William (Guillermo) Lacy, Knight of the Order of Santiago, Marshal de Camp for the King of Spain and Inspector of Irish Infantry
