Daniel O'Brien (Jacobite)

He was appointed Earl of Lismore in the Jacobite peerage, a title that was not formally recognised in his native Kingdom of Ireland.

His father Murrough O'Brien originally from Carrigogunnell in County Limerick was also one of the Wild Geese, rising to Major General and briefly commanding Clare's Dragoons.

[1] After the Jacobite claimant James Stuart was forced to leave France for Rome due to the terms of the Anglo-French Alliance, he acted as his agent in Paris replacing his fellow countrymen Arthur Dillion in the role and working alongside Francis Sempill and later George Kelly.

[3] In 1745 he signed the Treaty of Fontainebleau which committed France to support the Jacobite Rising that year.

From 1747 onwards he was Secretary of State, effectively chief minister to James in his Roman exile.
