Robert Dyke

Robert Dyke, Dyck or Dyche (died 1449) was an English-born cleric and judge who held high office in fifteenth-century Ireland.

[3] In the same year Dyke and Philip Earles, of whom little is known, were granted the manor of Lucan, Dublin "in consideration of their good and laudable service".

[8] He was present at a crucial Council meeting in 1442, at which very serious accusations were made against Richard Wogan, the Lord Chancellor, whereby he was deemed to have vacated office.

[8] He was a witness to the Charter of Athboy in 1446, whereby King Henry VI of England confirmed the liberties and exemptions of Dublin Corporation.

[1] He was praised as "a man of honest life and conversation" who had served the King for many years, and filled several important Crown offices with honour.
