Anthony St Leger (Master of the Rolls)

Sir Anthony St Leger (the younger) (c.1535–1613) was an English-born judge in Ireland of the later Tudor and Stuart eras.

It is often said that he was the third son of Sir Anthony St Leger, Lord Deputy of Ireland, and his wife Agnes Warham.

[3] St Leger himself did not share this belief: he went to Ireland under protest, made regular visits home and petitioned for English offices such as Master of the Court of Requests.

[4] He did not entirely neglect his official duties: he negotiated with Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone in 1594, was a commissioner for the Plantation of Munster, and went regularly on assize.

His body was brought back to England and at his own request, he was buried beside his first wife Eleanor in the church of St. Sepulchre-without-Newgate in London.
