Lynch, John (?1599-?1673), historian. Born in Galway, he was a pupil of Dubhaltach Mac Fhir Bhisigh. He studied in France, returning to Ireland on his ordination in 1622, taught classics and was made Archdeacon of Tuam, but fled back to France when Galway surrendered to the Parliamentarian army in 1652. He probably settled at St Malo. In 1660 he made a Latin translation of Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn. His Cambrensis Eversus (1662) drew upon Keating and 17th-cent. Gaelic historiography to refute the charges of the Anglo-Irish. chronicles. His Alithinologia and Supplementum Alithinologiae (1659 and 1667) advocated conciliation between the Old English and the native Irish.
