king of See also:Ireland (see See also:CLARE), was See also:born in Co. Clare on the 17th of See also:October 1803, and received his See also:education at See also:Harrow and at See also:Cambridge. He took the additional name of Smith on inheriting his maternal grandfather's estates in See also:Limerick. He entered See also:parliament in 1828 as member for See also:Ennis, and from 1835 to 1848 represented the See also:county of Limerick. Although he spoke in 1828 in favour of See also:Catholic emancipation, he for many years continued to differ on other points from the See also:general policy of O'Connell. But he opposed the Irish Arms See also:Act of 1843, and became an active member of the See also:Repeal Association. Though he was destitute of oratorical gifts, his See also:arraignment of the See also:English See also:government of Ireland secured him enthusiastic See also:attachment as a popular See also:leader. In See also:July 1846 the " See also:Young Ireland " party, with Smith O'Brien and Gavan See also:Duffy at their See also:head, left the Repeal Association, and in the beginning of 1847 established the Irish See also:Confederation. In May 1848 he was tried at See also:Dublin for See also:sedition, but the See also:jury disagreed. In the following July he established a See also:war See also:directory, and attempted to make a rising among the peasantry of Ballingarry, but although he was at first joined by a large following the See also:movement wanted cohesion, and the vacillating See also:crowd dispersed as soon as See also:news reached them of the approach of the dragoons. O'Brien was arrested at See also:Thurles, tried and sentenced to See also:death. The See also:sentence was, however, commuted to transportation to See also:Tasmania for See also:life. In See also:February 1854 he received his See also:liberty on See also:condition of never revisiting the See also:United See also:Kingdom; and in May 1856 he obtained a full See also:pardon, and returned to Ireland. In 1856 he published Principles of Government, or Meditations in See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
Exile. He died at See also:Bangor, See also:north See also:Wales, on the 18th of See also:June, 1864. He had five sons and two daughters. His eldest See also:brother, See also:Lucius, became 13th See also:Baron See also:Inchiquin in 1855, as See also:heir male to the 3rd See also:marquis of See also:Thomond, at whose death in 1855 the marquisate of Thomond and the earldom of Inchiquin became See also:extinct.
