Sir John Temple
Temple, Sir John (1600-1677), government official and author. Born in Dublin, son of a TCD Provost, he was imprisoned for siding with the Parliamentarians in the Civil War. His History of the Irish Rebellion (1644), subtitled together with the barbarous cruelties and bloody massacres which ensued thereupon, identifies English rule with God's will, and depicts the Irish Catholics as ingrates.
