Charles Stewart Parnell
(*
27. Juni
1846
; †
6. Oktober
1891
in
Brighton
) war ein politischer Führer in
Irland
und eine der wichtigsten irischen Persönlichkeiten des
19. Jahrhunderts
.
William Ewart Gladstone
(lange Zeit britischer Premierminister) hielt Parnell für die bemerkenswerteste Person, die er in seinem Leben getroffen hat. Der Premierminister
Herbert Henry Asquith
beschrieb ihn als eine der drei oder vier größten Männer des 19. Jahrhunderts, während
Richard Burdon Haldane
ihn als die stärkste Persönlichkeit ansieht, die das britische Unterhaus in 150 Jahren gesehen hat.
English:
Charles Stewart Parnell was born in
County Wicklow
, of gentry stock. He was the third son and seventh child of John Henry Parnell, a wealthy
Anglo-Irish
landowner, and his American wife
Delia Stewart
, daughter of the American naval hero, Commodore
Charles Stewart
(the stepson of one of
George Washington
's bodyguards). Commodore Stewart's mother, Parnell's great-grandmother, belonged to the
Tudor
family and so could claim a distant relationship with the
British Royal Family
. John Henry Parnell himself was a cousin of one of Ireland's leading aristocrats, Lord Powerscourt, and also the grandson of a Chancellor of the Exchequer in the
Irish House of Commons
, Sir John Parnell. Thus, from birth, Charles Stewart Parnell possessed an extraordinary number of links to many elements of society; he belonged to the established
Church of Ireland
(most of whose members were
unionists
), he was connected with the aristocracy through the Powerscourts, he was linked to the old Irish Parliamentary tradition via his great-grandfather, to the
American War of Independence
via his grandfather, to the
War of 1812
(where his grandfather had been awarded a gold medal by the
United States Congress
for gallantry), and distantly connected to the Royal Family. Yet it was as a leader of
Irish nationalism
that Parnell established his fame.
