Walter de Wogan

Walter de Wogan (died after 1328) was a Welsh-born Irish administrator, soldier and judge of the early fourteenth century.

[1] Originally a Pembrokeshire man, John acquired substantial estates at Rathcoffey in County Kildare.

Much about the details of his family life is disputed, including the names and number of his children, although Walter's existence and paternity are not in doubt.

Walter gave good service to the English Crown during the Bruce campaign in Ireland of 1315-18.

He was appointed Escheator of Ireland in 1328, charged with ensuring the reversion to the Crown of all lands whose tenant in chief had died without heirs.
