Robert le Poer
Robert le Poer (died 1344) was an Irish judge and Crown official who held the offices of Lord High Treasurer of Ireland and Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer.
==Family==
Francis Elrington Ball, in his definitive study of the pre-1921 Irish judiciary,〔''The Judges in Ireland 1221-1921'' John Murray London 1926 Vol.I pp.71-72〕 says nothing of Robert's ancestry. Earlier sources state that he was a younger son of Arnold le Poer, Seneschal of Kilkenny (died 1328).〔Redmond, Gabriel ''Historical memoir of the Family of Poher, Poer or Power'' Dublin 1891 p.11〕 Arnold was one of the commanders of the army of Edward II which defeated the invasion of Ireland by Edward Bruce, but his career was ruined by the Kilkenny Witchcraft Trials. His support for Alice Kyteler, who was his sister-in-law, gained him the enmity of Richard de Ledrede, Bishop of Ossory, and in 1328 Arnold was arrested on charges of heresy and died in Dublin Castle while awaiting trial.〔Otway-Ruthven, A.J. ''History of Medieval Ireland'' Reprinted Barnes and Noble 1993 p.245〕
There seems no good reason to doubt this account of Robert's parentage, although it may seem surprising the if he was Arnold's son, his career was not affected by Arnold's downfall- indeed Arnold's arrest coincided roughly with Robert's appointment as Treasurer.
