| | Charles Stewart Parnell - MSN Encarta |
 | | Parnell was born June 27, 1846, in Avondale, and educated at the University of Cambridge. |
 | | Parnell's peaceful policy was completely shattered, however, by the murder of Lord Frederick Charles Cavendish and Thomas Burke, chief secretary and undersecretary for Ireland, respectively, at Phoenix Park, Dublin, by the Irish Invincibles, a militant terrorist group. |
 | | Parnell's influence among the Irish people and among many of his English supporters began to decline in 1889, when William Henry O'Shea, formerly one of his most loyal lieutenants, filed a suit for divorce charging that Parnell had committed adultery with his wife. |
