Charleville (Parliament of Ireland constituency)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charleville was a constituency in County Cork represented in the Irish House of Commons to 1800. The town it represented was named after Charles II. It was enfranchised in 1673, a sovereign, 12 burgesses and freemen. It belonged to the Earl of Orrery, a branch of the Boyle family. At the end of the 18th Century the constituency was controlled by Lord Shannon and Lord Cork who each nominated one member. The compensation of £15,000 for the loss of the seats in the Act of Union 1800 was divided equally between them.
