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".
