Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent was an English nobleman who served as Chief Justiciar of England (1215–1232) and Justiciar of Ireland (1232) during the reigns of King John and his son and successor King Henry III and, as Regent of England (1219–1227) during Henry's minority, was one of the most influential and powerful men in English politics in the thirteenth century.
William Longespée, 3rd Earl of Salisbury was an Anglo-Norman nobleman, primarily remembered for his command of the English forces at the Battle of Damme and for remaining loyal to his half-brother, King John. His nickname "Longespée" is generally taken as a reference to his great physical height and the oversized weapons that he used.
Justiciar is the English form of the medieval Latin term justiciarius or justitiarius. The Chief Justiciar was the king's chief minister, roughly equivalent to a modern Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Earl of Essex was a prominent member of the government of England during the reigns of Richard I and John. The patronymic is sometimes rendered Fitz Piers, for he was the son of Piers de Lutegareshale, a forester of Ludgershall and Maud de Manderville.

Sir John Wogan or John de Wogan, styled lord of Picton was a Cambro-Norman judge who served as Justiciar of Ireland from 1295 to 1313.

He came from Picton in Pembrokeshire and was a vassal of William de Valence, 1st Earl of Pembroke. He came to have lands in Pembrokeshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire. He may have represented de Valence at an Irish court case in 1275, and in 1280 he was steward of Wexford, Valence's Irish liberty. He was a justice in eyre in England in 1281–4, and returned to Ireland in 1285. In 1290 he was a referee with Hugh Cressingham in a dispute between Queen Eleanor and de Valence and his wife. He was on eyre again in the mid-1290s, sitting in the North of England.
