The Duke of Leinster, James FitzGerald (1764-1841), was a prominent Irish peer and landowner, residing primarily at Hillingdon House in Middlesex, England, around 1820. His political career began in the Irish House of Commons in 1790, as depicted in an engraving of the time. However, his tenure was marked by controversy, including the Home Rule Bill in the Lords and clashes with the Irish Land League. In one instance, his leases were publicly burned on a "98 Pike" in Kildare's marketplace. The Duke's military background is evident in a lithograph of Lieutenant-General James FitzGerald. He was also known for his philanthropy, presenting prizes to the children of the Masonic Female Orphan School in Dublin. A portrait of the Duke and images of his estate at Carton and the ancient Concert Rooms in Maynooth provide a glimpse into his life outside of politics. The Duke's diplomatic role is illustrated in an engraving of the Irish Ambassadors Extraordinary in 1789.
