  Lord Edward FitzGerald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to Thomas Moore, Lord Edward Fitzgerald was the only one of the numerous suitors of Sheridan's first wife whose attentions were received with favor; and it is certain that, whatever may have been its limits, a warm mutual affection subsisted between the two.
Lord Edward was among the advocates of the bolder course.
Since her marriage with Lord Edward she had been greatly beloved and esteemed by the whole Fitzgerald family; and although after her second marriage her intimacy with them ceased, there is no sufficient evidence for the tales that represented her subsequent conduct as open to grave censure.

On the 27th of December 1792 Fitzgerald and Pamela were married at Tournay, one of the witnesses being Louis Philippe, afterwards king of the French; and in January 1793 the couple reached Dublin.
As early as 1794 the government had information that placed Lord Edward under suspicion; but it was not till 1796 that he joined the United Irishmen, whose aim after the recall of Lord Fitzwilliam in 1795 was avowedly the establishment of an independent Irish republic.

Wolfe Tone, Lord Edward Fitzgerald, Archibold Rowan Hamilton and William Drennan were once regarded as typical products of the Age of Reason, a verdict reinforced by clerical condemnation after 1798.
Lord Edward Fitzgerald, with whom he is entranced, he pinions at one juncture as "brutal in general judgments, sentimental in particular ones: a common and unsatisfactory combination".
Intoxicated by Enlightenment ideas, by the example of America in the war of independence and by the French revolution, the largely Protestant United Irishmen were formed in 1791 to unite radical, republican Presbyterians with their Catholic neighbours, and thus bring an end to "the deadly trinity of tyranny, corruption and superstition".

In 1796 he joined the "United Irishmen," was afterward elected their president, and was sent to France to negotiate a treaty with the Directory for a French invasion of Ireland.
The scheme was betrayed to the English ministry, and several of the leaders were arrested, but Fitzgerald, having concealed himself in a house in Dublin, still continued to direct the movement.
A price was set on his head, the place of his retreat discovered, and, after a severe struggle in which he was mortally wounded, he was captured by police officers and committed to prison, 19 May 1798, where he died in June.
