FRENCH, See also:NICHOLAS (1604-1678) , See also:bishop of Ferns, was an Irish See also:political pamphleteer, who was See also:born at See also:Wexford. He was educated at See also:Louvain, and returning to See also:Ireland became a See also:priest at Wexford, and before 1646 was appointed bishop of Ferns. Having taken a prominent See also:part in the political disturbances of this See also:period, French deemed it prudent to leave Ireland in 1651, and the See also:remainder of his See also:life was passed on the See also:continent of See also:Europe. He acted as coadjutor to the archbishops of See also:Santiago de Compostella and See also:Paris, and to the bishop of See also:Ghent, and died at Ghent on the 23rd of See also:August 1678. In 1676 he published his attack on See also:James See also:Butler, See also:marquess of See also:Ormonde, entitled " The Unkinde Desertor of Loyall Men and True Frinds,” and shortly afterwards " The Bleeding Iphigenia." The most important of his other See also:pamphlets is the "Narrative of the See also:Earl of See also:Clarendon's See also:Settlement and See also:Sale of Ireland " (Louvain, 1668). The See also:Historical See also:Works of Bishop French, comprising the three pamphlets already mentioned and some letters, were published by S. H. Bindon at See also:Dublin in 1846. See T. D. McGee, Irish Writers of the 17th See also:Century (Dublin, 1846) ; See also:Sir J. T.
