Sir James Alleyn (died c. 1457) was an Irish judge of the fifteenth century.
[5] The Crown ordered that those responsible for the injuries to Fortescue and Alleyn should be punished.
[6] In 1444, he was Speaker of the Great Council held at Drogheda, which was mainly concerned with ending the Butler-Talbot feud, which had bedevilled Irish public life for decades.
[1] James Butler, 4th Earl of Ormonde, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, asked the Council to declare before Robert Manfield, a senior official of the Royal Household, who attended for that purpose, if it had any complaints about his government of the Realm.
Alleyn speaking for the entire Council assured Ormond in Manfield's presence that there were no complaints, but that on the contrary, they were entirely grateful for his "good and gracious rule", and his laborious defence of the realm, and that his continued government was necessary for good order.
