• Christopher St Lawrence, 5th Baron Howth (c.1485-1542) was an Anglo-Irish nobleman.
• He was the eldest son of Nicholas St Lawrence, 4th Baron Howth and his first wife Jenet or Genet Plunkett, daughter of the 3rd Baron Killeen.[1] His date of birth is uncertain, but Elrington Ball states that he was already middle-aged when his father died in 1526:[2] since his eldest son was born in 1508 this suggests a birth date about 1485. .... etc.
• He married before 1508 Anne Bermingham, daughter of his stepmother Anne Berford by her first husband.[7] Anne inherited substantial estates at Baldongan from her brother. Three of their sons in turn inherited the title, they were:
  • Edward St Lawrence, 6th Baron Howth (1508–1549)
  • Richard St Lawrence, 7th Baron Howth ( died 1558)
  • Christopher St Lawrence, 8th Baron Howth (d. 1589).[8]
• There was also a fourth son, John, and three daughters, Joan, Alison and Margaret, who all married into neighbouring gentry families.

Earl of Howth

• Earl of Howth was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1767 for Thomas St Lawrence, 15th Baron Howth, who was elevated to Viscount St Lawrence at the same time, also in the Peerage of Ireland. The St Lawrence family descended from Christopher St Lawrence who was elevated to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Howth in circa 1425. The third and fourth Barons both served as Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
• The fourth baron was a distinguished soldier who fought at the Battle of Knockdoe; his grandson the seventh baron was also a notable soldier. The eighth baron, commonly known as "the blind lord", led the opposition to the Government's taxation policy in the 1570s. The ninth baron was openly Roman Catholic, and led opposition to the Penal Laws in the early 1600s. The tenth baron was a notable military commander who served with the Earl of Essex and Lord Mountjoy. The fourteenth Baron represented Ratoath in the Irish House of Commons, and was a friend of Jonathan Swift. The third Earl served as Lord-Lieutenant of Dublin. [1]
• The fourth Earl sat as Member of Parliament for Galway Borough, and in 1881 he was created Baron Howth, of Howth in the County of Dublin, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. All these titles became extinct upon his death in 1909 as he left no male heir. The family seat, Howth Castle, still belongs to their descendants in the female line, the Gaisford-St Lawrence family.
