Dominic Maguire O.P. (died 21 September 1707) was an Irish prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. A leading Jacobite in Ireland, he served as the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland from 1683 to 1707. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Maguire was likely educated at the Dominican houses in County Londonderry, becoming a Dominican friar. He finished his education in Andalusia, before becoming honorary chaplain to the Spanish ambassador in London. He lived there until he was elected Archbishop of Armagh by the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith on 14 December 1683. [2] [3] This elevation was likely due to the influence of James, Duke of York. By a papal brief, dated 12 January 1684, [1] [2] [3] he was empowered to perform archiepiscopal functions without the Pallium. [2] Upon the accession of James II in 1685, Maguire travelled to London with Patrick Tyrrell to pledge loyalty to the new king. [4] In May 1686 Maguire was back in Ireland, presiding over a meeting of eleven bishops in Dublin, which admitted the primacy of the see of Armagh. In January 1687, James II named Maguire as chaplain general to the army and authorised him to approve regimental chaplains. [4]
During the Williamite War in Ireland, Maguire and other Catholic prelates were instrumental in saving from destruction the valuable library of Trinity College Dublin. [2] In August 1691, Maguire went to France to discuss the acute military situation with James II. His negotiations with the king encouraged him to convince the Irish Jacobites defenders of Limerick to hold out for much more favourable terms than those which had already been offered by the Williamites. He was among those who discussed the final terms of the surrender of Limerick with General Ginkel. He was also present during the discussion of the civil articles of the Treaty of Limerick. [4]
Later in 1691, Maguire fled to France, and took refuge at the exiled Jacobite court at Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. [5] In February and December 1692 he wrote to Pope Innocent XI requesting financial assistance. [4] In 1700 he visited Rome and was received by Pope Innocent XII. Through the intercession of Mary of Modena, Maguire secured a pension from Louis XIV, and lived in exile in Paris for the rest of his life. He died on 21 September 1707, [1] [2] [3] and was buried in the crypt the church of the Collège des Lombards [6] which was part of the Irish College in Paris. [2]
The Primacy of Ireland was historically disputed between the Archbishop of Armagh and the Archbishop of Dublin until finally settled by Pope Innocent VI. Primate is a title of honour denoting ceremonial precedence in the Church, and in the Middle Ages there was an intense rivalry between the two archbishoprics as to seniority. Since 1353 the Archbishop of Armagh has been titled Primate of All Ireland and the Archbishop of Dublin Primate of Ireland, signifying that they are the senior churchmen on the island of Ireland, the Primate of All Ireland being the more senior. The titles are used by both the Catholic and Church of Ireland bishops. The distinction mirrors that in the Church of England between the Primate of All England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Primate of England, the Archbishop of York.
The Williamite War in Ireland was a conflict between Jacobite supporters of deposed monarch James II and Williamite supporters of his successor, William III. It is also called the Jacobite War in Ireland, Williamite Conquest of Ireland, or the Williamite–Jacobite War in Ireland.
The Archdiocese of Armagh is an ecclesiastical territory or archdiocese of the Catholic Church located in the northern part of Ireland. The ordinary is the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Armagh who is also the Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical province of Armagh and the Primate of All Ireland. The mother church is St Patrick's Cathedral. The claim of the archdiocese to pre-eminence in Ireland as the primatial see rests upon its traditional establishment by Saint Patrick circa 445. It was recognised as a metropolitan province in 1152 by the Synod of Kells.
The Bishop of Killala is an episcopal title which takes its name after the village of Killala in County Mayo, Ireland. In the Roman Catholic Church it remains a separate title, but in the Church of Ireland it has been united with other bishoprics.

Henry Dillon, 8th Viscount Dillon was an Irish soldier and politician. In 1689 he sat in the Patriot Parliament. He fought for the Jacobites during the Wiiliamite War, defending Galway against Ginkel and surrendering it in 1691 after a short siege. He obtained the reversal of his father's attainder in 1696 recovering his father's lands.
