Surname of Sir Roger hanged for treason in 1916?
Hanged by the neck until dead by John Ellis and his assistants at Pentonville Prison in London on 3 August 1916 for treason, the failed attempt to bring arms to Ireland for use in the Easter Rising by Sir Roger Casement has been immortalized in the Irish rebel song "The Lonely Banna Strand". Of course, he was stripped of his title before his execution.
When did the Irish rebels surrender?
Technically, they never have! In the long view, that is. Wikipedia lists some twenty-two separate Irish insurrections/rebellions/uprisings during the period extending from 1534 (Silken Thomas Rebellion) through 1969 (The Troubles(through 1998)). Pretty much all of these ended in abject failure. The Irish responded to each disappointment in typical fashion by writing prose, poems and songs, regrouping and building towards the next backlash to oppressive English occupation. In reference to the Easter Rising of 1916, however, rebel commander Patrick Pearse offered an unconditional surrender to British Brigadier-General Lowe on the 29th of April, 1916 due to his purported wish to preserve the lives of innocent civilians, but also due to the fact that the rebels were hopelessly surrounded and out-gunned. Though many Dubliners were angered with the violence and destruction wrought by the rebel activities, the resulting court martials and executions of most of the leaders and many of the often very young rebel foot soldiers only served to galvanize the Irish populace against the British occupiers.
