 | | Commodore Stewart's mother, Parnell's grandmother, belonged to the Tudor family and so could claim a distant relationship with the British Royal Family. |
| | In March 1887, Parnell found himself accused by the British newspaper The Times of support for the murderers of the Chief Secretary for Ireland Lord Frederick Cavendish, and the Under Secretary for Ireland, T.H. Burke. |
| | However a Commission of Enquiry, set up to destroy Parnell, vindicated him, as did a libel action instituted by him, when it was revealed in February 1890 that the letters were in fact a fabrication created by Richard Piggott, an anti-Parnell journalist who promply committed suicide. |
