Warham St Leger was an English army officer.
St Leger served in Ireland during Lord Deputy Essex's failed campaign. He was one of six royalist witnesses present at a riverside conference with Irish confederates on 7 September 1599. [1] [2] [3]
He died on 1 March [ N.S. 11 March] 1600, [4] near Cork, in a skirmish with Gaelic chieftain Hugh Maguire. St Leger shot Maguire as he approached, though Maguire thrust his lance into St Leger's skull before succumbing to his gunshot wound. [5] [6] [7]
On 31 March 1600, Thomas Denham wrote to Cecil that St Leger's widow "is now preparing herself for the Court, to be a suitor". [8]
He is not to be confused with his uncle, also named Warham St Leger (c. 1525–1597). [9]
