 Portrait of the Rt. Hon. John Beresford
Description: John Beresford, 1738-1805, Irish statesman, was the second son of Marcus, Earl of Tyrone, and Lady Catherine, Baroness de La Poer, the heiress of a long line of barons, and was born in Dublin 14 March 1738.

Lord Fitzwilliam found on his arrival that Beresford ‘was filling a situation greater than that of the lord lieutenant himself,’ that he was ‘virtually king of Ireland,’ and that the weight of his ‘unpopularity’ with the party of Grattan would completely nullify all attempts to reconcile them.
