Euseby Cleaver

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Euseby Cleaver was Bishop of Ferns and Leighlin (1789-1809) in Ireland and subsequently Archbishop of Dublin (1809-1819). He was of Buckinghamshire origin and educated at Christ Church, Oxford. During the 1798 insurrection his palace in Ferns was ransacked and Cleaver was obliged to take refuge in Beaumaris, Anglesey, where he lived at the Bishopsgate Hotel. His tenure of Dublin, where he was deposed allegedly for insanity was relatively short-lived. He appears to have favoured the use of the Irish language.
