Notes:

Chaplain to King Charles I
Chaplain to King Charles II
Vicar of Stanwell in Middlesex
Evicted and sent on the run by Cromwell's revolution
Rescued by Lord Arundel of Castle Wardour
Installed Dean of Chichester after Restoration of 1660
Chaplain-in-Ordinary to King Charles II
Appointed Dean of Windsor

Dr. Brune Ryves was probably the most noteworthy of the Ryves in England. The D.N.B. lists him as scholar, author and chaplain to both Kings Charles I and II; Vicar of Stanwell in Middlesex. When Cromwell and the Parlimentary forces arrested Charles I and civil war broke out, Dr. Ryves was evicted; his property all confiscated; he and his wife and four children sought shelter from the cold rain under a hedge. Lord Arundel, hearing of their plight, sent his carriage to rescue Dr. Ryves, and took the destitute family into his home at Castle Wardour as his guests. Dr. Ryves made at least one trip abroad to carry funds to Charles II (collected by his friends in England). When the restoration came in 1660, Dr. Ryves was installed as Dean of Chichester, and Master of the Hospital there. He was made Chaplain-in-Ordinary to the King and Appointed Dean of Windsor. Some letters indicate that Dr. Ryves may have considered migrating to Virginia. There are numerous documents about the sufferings of this family during the Commonwealth. Dr. Ryves died 13 July 1677, and is buried at Windsor in the aisle joining on the south side to his Majesty's Chapell of St. George.

Dr. Ryves = Kathryn, d/o Sir Richard Waldrum of Co. Leicester. She died ca 1667 and Dr. Ryves was granted letters of Administration. 6 Ch.

It may be of interest to note the advancement of an English cousin of the Ryves at this time. Dr. Brune Ryves (1594 - 1677) served as Chaplain to both Charles I and Charles II. During Cromwell's Protectorate (1649 - 1660) he made at least one trip to France to carry funds to the latter, then in exile. During this time he almost certainly encountered the Duke of Ormonde who was also in exile in France. After the Restoration of the House of Stuart, he was appointed Chaplain to the King and Dean of Windsor. Upon his death in 1677, he was buried in Windsor Castle. In the 17th century, as today, progress depended less on what you knew and more on whom you knew. Dr. Ryves close ties with the monarchy can only have enhanced the fortunes of his cousins at Rathsallagh.

RYVES, BRUNO (1596-1677), dean of
Windsor, son of Thomas, and grandson of
John Ryves of Damory Court, Dorset, was
born in 1596, and educated at Oxford, sub-
scribing as a clerk of New College in 1610.
Sir Thomas Ryves [q. v.] was his first cousin.
He graduated B.A. in 1616, and in the fol-
lowing year became a clerk of Magdalen,
proceeding M.A. 9 June 1619, B.D. 20 June
1632, and D.D. 25 June 1639. He was
admitted of Gray's Inn in 1634. In the
meantime he was instituted to the vicarage
of Stanwell in Middlesex, where he made a
name by his ' florid ' preaching (WOOD),
obtaining in September 1628 the additional
benefice of St. Martin-le-Vintry. About
1640 he became chaplain to Charles I. The
inhabitants of Stanwell petitioned against him
in July 1642, and he was forthwith deprived
of his benefices, and a parliamentary preacher
appointed in his stead. ' With his wife and
four children and all his family he was (accord-
ing to Walker) taken out of doors, all his goods
seized, and all that night lay under a hedge in
the wet and cold. Next day my Lord Arundel,
hearing of this barbarous usage done to so
pious a gentleman, sent his coach with men
and horses,' and Ryves was entertained for
some time at Wardour Castle. A patent of
June 1646 created him dean of Chichester,
but he remained in seclusion and dependent
upon charity at Shafton in Dorset until
after the king's death, when he made at
least one journey abroad, bearing to Charles II
some money which had been collected among
his adherents. Upon the Restoration he
petitioned for the vicarage of St. Giles's,
Cripplegate ; but better preferment was in
store for him. He was in July 1660 in-
stalled dean of Chichester and master of the
hospital there; he was also sworn chaplain-



Ryves

in-ordinary to the king, and appointed dean
of Windsor (and Wolverhampton), being in-
stalled on 3 Sept. 1660. He became scribe
of the order of the Garter in the following
January, and was shortly afterwards pre-
sented to the rectories of Haseley, Oxon.,
and Acton, in Middlesex. As administrator
of the charity of the poor knights of Wind-
sor, he had great difficulty in dealing with
the many and conflicting appeals of decayed
royalists.

In January 1662, upon the occasion of a
great alarm caused by the prevalence of
midsummer weather in midwinter, Ryves
preached before the House of Commons at St.
Margaret's, on Joshua vii. 12, showing how
the neglect of exacting justice on offenders
(by which he insinuated such of the old king's
murderers as were yet reprieved and in the
Tower) was a main cause of God's punishing
aland ' (EVELYN, Diary, 15 Jan. : cf. PEPYS,
i. 313). Being non-resident at Acton, he
put in a drunken curate, whom he directed
to persecute Richard Baxter. Baxter was
drawing crowded audiences to his sermons
in defiance of the conventicle act, by an un-
popular application of which, in 1668, he
was at length convicted and confined for six
months. Baxter rightly attributed his mis-
hap to the absentee rector, who had grown
hard and sour ; even Sir Matthew Hale had
no good word for him. Ryves died at
Windsor on 13 July 1677, and was buried
in the south aisle of St. George's Chapel,
where he is commemorated by a long mural
inscription in Latin. By his wife, Kate,
daughter of Sir Richard Waldram, knt., of
Charley, Leicestershire, he had several chil-
dren. A son married Judith Tyler in 1668,
and his son Bruno entered Merchant Tay-
lors' School in 1709 ; a kinsman, Jerome
Ryves (d. 1705), was installed dean of St.
Patrick's, Dublin, in March 1699.

Besides three separate sermons, Ryves
was the author of ' Mercurius Rusticus ; or
the Countries Complaint of the Barbarous
Outrages committed by the Sectaries of this
late flourishing Kingdom.' Nineteen num-
bers (in opposition to which George Wither
started a parliamentary ' Mercurius Rusticus ')
appeared from August 1642, and the whole
were republished, 1646, 1647, and 1685, with
a finely engraved frontispiece, in compart-
ments. The assaults upon Sir John Lucas's
house, W ardour Castle, and other mansions
are narrated, while a second part commences
to deal with the violation of the cathedrals.
From the fact of its being frequently bound
up with < Mercurius Rusticus,' with the
common title of ' Anglise Ruina,' the
' Querela Cantabrigiensis ' of John Barwick



i Ryves

[q. v.] has been erroneously attributed to
Ryves (WooD, Athena, iii. 1111). Ryves
assisted Walton in the business of the Lon-
don tithes, and contributed to his polyglot
bible (ToDD, Memoirs of Walton, i. 4, 306).
A number of his letters are among the Ash-
mole MSS. in the Bodleian Library (see
BLOXAM, Magd. Coll. Reg. ii. 58). Both
Ryves's Christian name and surname were
variously spelt by his contemporaries, Brune,
I Bruen, Brian, Bruno, and Reeves, Rives,
Ryve, Reeve, and Ryves.

An engraved portrait of the dean, from
an original miniature in oil, was published
in 1810 ; a second was engraved by Earlom
(EVANS, Cat. of Engraved Portraits, p. 302).

Notes:

He ranks, along with his brothers, Dr. George Ryves and his cousin Dr. Brune Ryves, as among the most illustrious of the Ryves name in England and Ireland. His training in Law in Oxford resulted in his appointment in 1629 as Attorney General to Ireland, replacing Sir John Davies. Sir William was resident of Oxford for many years and owned considerable property there. The Register of the church of St. Mary Magdalene there has numerous records of this family. He married a Miss Latham, by whom his 10 children were born; then after her death, he married Dorothy Waldrum, probably a sister of the wife of his brother Sir Thomas. Sir William and Col. James Ryves were lead to the Irish move by their youngest brothers (sir Thomas) having already settled there. Sir William bought Rathsallow, Crunmore, Ballyferinott, of County Down, near Dublin. He was one of the Judges of the King's Bench and a member of the Irish House of Lords, of which he was speaker in 1641.

Rathsallagh, the Ryves & the House of Stuart

Origins of the Ryves Family - Sir William Ryves - The Confederate Wars - Dr. Brune Ryves & the Restoration - William III & the Penal Laws.

Robert Piphoe died in 1609, eight years into the reign of the Scottish-born King James I. Rathsallagh formed part of his inheritance but, for the next twenty years, actual ownership of the property is unknown. By 1632 it had come into the possession of Sir William Ryves (c 1570 - 1648) whose family were to retain the estate through the bloodiest age Ireland had ever known. The Ryves family had its origins in the English county of Dorset and claimed to be the inspiration behind "A Reeves Tale" in Chaucer's A Canterbury Tale. During the 16th and 17th centuries many of the Ryves bloodline attended Oxford University, after which they went on to play prominent roles in the fields of education, politics and the church. Perhaps the most illustrious member was Sir William's cousin, Dr. George Ryves (1559 - 1613), who was among those men selected by James I to work on the translation of what would become the King James Bible (1605 - 1611).

Sir William Ryves and his brother, an ecclesiastical lawyer of note, came to Ireland in the early 17th century at the behest of their influential cousin Sir John Davis, Speaker of the Irish House of Commons. In 1619, Sir William was appointed Attorney-General of Ireland, an office that put him in intimate contact with the political elite. In 1629, the South Wicklow magnate Lord Fitzwilliam became involved in a long and expensive inheritance dispute with his siblings. The costs forced him to mortgage "his lands in all directions". Sir William Ryves was named as one of his mortgagees. Part of this repayment may have been the granting of the estate and townlands of Rathsallagh. In 1632, Sir William was granted a license to hold a market at Rathsallagh on the Feast of Saint Bartholomew (4th September). This fair was still going strong 300 years later when a visitor described it as "one of the largest fairs in the kingdom � for horses, cattle and sheep".

He became Second Commissioner of the Great Seal after the Battle of the Boyne. He was appointed Second Baron of the Exchequer in 1692. He then resided in Capel Street. Ten years before he had obtained an addition to his original holding for the purpose of providing stabling to the house he intended to build for himself. This house would have been somewhere between Little Mary Street and North King Street. He died early in 1693.
