On 3 June 1633 he was (03 "James, Earl of Castlehaven in Ireland ) cr. Baron Audley of Hely, with rem. " to bis heirs for ever," and with the place and precedency of George, his grandfather, formerly Baron Audley of Hely.( c ) Tins patent was (as was necessary so fur as it was a restoration and not a new creation) confirmed by Act of Pari. (29 and SO Car. II.) 1678 ; see fuller particulars under "Audley," Barony of, cr. 1313. In 1019 he was Gen. of the Forces in Ireland against Cromwell, till the subjugation of that kingdom, when he retired to France till the Restoration. Ho m. at Kilkenny, hi his father's lifetime (the lady being but 12 years old), KliKibeth.C 1 ) da. of Grey (Brydges), 5th Baron Chandos of Sudeley, by Anne, da. and coheir of Ferdinaiido (Stanley), 5th EaRL BP Derby, which Ann, being second wife to his father, was the Countess of Castlekavf.n [I.], before mentioned.

His widow (who was a Soman Catholic) d. Juno 1733. (") This was for the Crime of Sodomy (active and passive) with one Laurence Fitz Patrick, his Page, who was executed for the same (after having confessed the crime), at Tyburn, 6 July 1631 : as also for the rape of his own wife, or rather for the assisting one Giles Browning in a rape said to have been so committed. Of this woman, the said Fitz Patrick said that " she was the wickedest woman in the world, and had more to answer for than any woman that lived." The death of her unworthy husband v>as certainly brought about by her means, and her notorious adultery with one Mr. Ampthill and Mr. Henry Skipwith renders her motive somewhat suspicious. ( b ) " The Irish Earldom [of Castlehaven] was according to modern opinions and the decision of Lord Northiugtou in the Ferrers case [1760] protected by the statute dc donis which preserved all entailed honours against forfeiture for felony." See " Courtbope," p. lxviii. in " Observations on dignities," where it is stated that the s. and h. of the attainted Earl " was, notwithstanding, made Earl of Castlehaven by a neto creation." This, however, appears to bo an error, probably a coufusion with the English Barony of Audley of Hely, which icas so cr. in 1633. ( c ) See " Creations, 1482-1646," in ap. 47th rep. D. K. P. Records. ( d ) At the trial of the Earl, her father-in-law, 1631, her adultery with Henry Skipwith, her mother's paramour, is alluded to. She was, however, at that time very young, probably a mere puppet in the hands of the said Earl and his abandoned wife, the profligacy of whose establishment seems to have been overwhelming. ( e ) Under the Act of Pari. 1678 [which passed over George Tuchet, a Benedictine monk (then living) tho 2d son of the 2d Earl], he was heir to the English honours, and on the death of the said George (the date and place which is unknown) he would M (and probably, before 1684, m>) heir to the Irish honours.
