Thomas See also:Wentworth, afterwards the famous See also:earl of See also:Strafford, went to Ireland in 1633, he took See also:action against Mountnorris, whom he accused of corruption and malversation of public See also:money. The two men became violent opponents, and at a See also:dinner at the lord See also:chancellor's See also:house in See also:April 1635 Mountnorris used insulting and threatening See also:language in reference to the lord deputy. Wentworth brought him before a See also:court-See also:martial on a See also:charge of insubordination as an officer in the See also:army, and by this tribunal Mountnorris was condemned to death. The See also:sentence was not carried out, but he was imprisoned and deprived of all his offices on the See also:report of a See also:committee appointed by the privy See also:council to inquire into the charges of corruption. The vindictiveness of the proceedings against Mountnorris, which afterwards constituted one of the See also:counts in the See also:impeachment of Strafford, has been strongly condemned by some historians and extenuated by others; that the trial by court-martial and the sentence were at all events not illegal, has been shown by S. R. See also:Gardiner. Mountnorris was not See also:long detained in See also:prison, and in 164o his relations with Strafford were examined by a committee of the Long Parliament, which pronounced the sentence passed on him unjust and illegal. In 1642 he succeeded, under the above-mentioned reversion, to the See also:title of viscount of Valentia. During the See also:Commonwealth he again held the See also:post of secretary in Ireland to the lord deputy, Henry See also:Cromwell, with whom he was on friendly terms. Valentia died in 166o. His wife was Dorothy, daughter of Sir See also:John Phillipps of See also:Picton, See also:Pembrokeshire, by whom he was the See also:father of Arthur Annesley, earl of See also:Anglesey (q.v. for later See also:history).
