Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: 1626, Ireland; Knighted

Notes:

He married firstly Mary Rushe, daughter of Sir Francis Rushe and secondly Jane Hannay, daughter of Sir Robert Hannay and had issue by both wives including Charles who succeeded as 2nd Earl.

The younger Coote became an MP for Leitrim in the Irish Parliament between 1634 and 1635 and again in 1640, a year before the outbreak of the Irish rebellion of 1641. The elder Charles Coote was active in the suppression of the Irish insurgents in 1642, launching attacks on Clontarf and County Wicklow in late 1641 in which many civilians died; he was killed in action defending Trim in May 1642.

After the death of his father, Charles Coote also led some of the King's forces under Ormonde against the Confederate army, but was captured defending a stronghold in the Curragh of Kildare by an Irish army led by Castlehaven. He was released during the 1643 cessation of arms.

At this time Coote travelled to England with a number of Protestants to agitate for harsh anti-Catholic measures and an end to the cessation. In Dublin Archbishop Ussher condemned the extremism of Coote and his fellows, but Coote was unbending. The King, however, ignored these demands and so Coote joined the Parliamentarians.[1] Coote was appointed commander of Connaught by the Parliamentarians in 1645. Operating from west Ulster, he temporarily overran the north-west of the province over the next two years.

The Cromwellian Conquest

The execution of Charles I in 1649 led local Protestant and Scottish forces in Ulster to join the Duke of Ormond?s royalist coalition, thus isolating Coote. He defended Derry against a protracted siege (March?August 1649) with the unlikely assistance of the Ulster army under Owen Roe O'Neill. After the New Model Army under Cromwell captured Drogheda, a force of several thousand Parliamentarians under Robert Venables headed north into Ulster, where Coote joined Venables to destroy the Scottish Ulster Royalists at the Battle of Lisnagarvey. By early 1650, however, the Irish Ulster army (now under Heber MacMahon, as O'Neill had died a few months earlier) became active once more, and Coote was again forced onto the defensive. After being reinforced, he advanced on the Irish army at Scarrifholis and routed them, killing over 2,000 soldiers and taking no prisoners. After this, Coote's army attempted to take the formidable fortress of Charlemont, which was defended by the remnants of the Ulster army, but his soldiers suffered heavy casualties before the stronghold surrendered. Having largely cleared Ulster, in June 1651 he advanced on Athlone from the North-West, evading a blocking force. Through this movement the town was gained; the town contained a stone bridge over the Shannon and this action thus opened up Connaught to the Parliamentarian army for the first time. He besieged Galway in the winter of 1651 and it surrendered in April 1652.

Coote inherited the substantial plantation lands of his father in the midlands of Ireland.
Restoration

In December 1659 Coote took part in a coup against the government, seizing Dublin Castle. In February 1660 he sent a representative to Charles II, inviting him to make an attempt on Ireland.[2] Coote was a central figure in the Convention Parliament.[3] Following the Restoration Charles II ennobled him Earl of Mountrath in 1660 as a reward for his support. Coote died of smallpox the following year and was buried in Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin. He built Rush Hall near Mountrath, which was the family's main residence for several generations.

Notes:

British Civil Wars, Commonwealth and Protectorate, 1638-1660
Sir Charles Coote, 1st Baronet, d.1642

Powerful landowner in Ireland whose fierce anti-Catholicism drove him to commit massacres and atrocities against the Irish insurgents

Born into an old Devonshire family, Charles Coote went to Ireland in 1600 as a captain in the army of Lord Mountjoy. He served during the last years of the Nine Years' War against Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and was present at the siege of Kinsale in 1602 where O'Neill was decisively defeated. In 1605, Coote began his career in the administration of Ireland when he was appointed provost-marshal of Connacht. In 1620, he was appointed vice-president of Connacht and the following year he was created a baronet of Ireland. Despite rumours that his rise to power was financed by embezzlement and extortion, Coote enjoyed the protection of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham. He became a substantial landowner and was active in promoting the plantation of Ireland, whereby Protestant settlers from England and Scotland took over the lands of the native Irish. During the administration of Lord-Deputy Wentworth (1633-9), Coote served as a commissioner to examine and dispute Irish land titles, confiscating estates wherever possible to make way for the new settlers.

On the outbreak of the Irish Uprising of October 1641, Coote was appointed governor of Dublin and commissioned to raise a regiment. Despite his advanced age, he was active in leading raids against insurgent positions around Dublin. He advanced south to secure Wicklow in November 1641 then marched north early in 1642, defeating the rebels at Swords and Kilsallaghan to secure the northern approaches to Dublin. Coote was accused of killing innocent civilians on the Wicklow expedition and of calling for the massacre of all Catholics. He ordered the burning of farms and villages, which destroyed the logistical resources of the insurgents but intensified the hatred of the Irish population towards the Protestant government. Coote's ferocious anti-Catholicism is said to have influenced several "Old English" noblemen of the Pale to join the insurrection on the side of the rebels.

In April 1642, the Earl of Ormond sent Coote with a detachment of six troops of horse to relieve beleaguered garrisons at Birr, Burris, and Knocknamease, which he achieved during a forty-eight hour march without the loss of a single man. Coote then rejoined Ormond's main force to participate in the victory over the Confederates at the battle of Kilrush. In early May, Coote helped capture the garrisons of Philipstown and Trim. He was killed on 7 May 1642 as he led an attack from Trim to repel a Confederate counter-attack. According to some accounts, he was shot by one of his own troopers.

Coote married Dorothea Cuffe in 1610 and had four sons and a daughter. He was succeeded as second baronet by his eldest son, also called Charles Coote.
