Lord Portlester (Rowland Fitz Eustace, Baron Portlester) was appointed Lord Chancellor and Lord Treasurer of Ireland by King Henry VII of England. But he was removed because of his part in the crowning of the pretender, Lambert Simnel. Lambert Simnel was crowned as King Edward VI of England, on May 24, 1487. This coronation took place in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland. Nearly every noble and Prince in Ireland took part in the coronation. Henry VI decided to split the offices held by Lord Portlester between Alexander Plunket and Sir James Ormond.
