William Piers (constable)
William Piers (c. 1510 – 1603) was an English constable, who spent most of his life in Ireland. He was the first mayor and practical founder of Carrickfergus. He was noted in particular for his attempts to drive out the Scots from Ulster and the great lengths that he went to in attempting to enhance the power of local chiefs at the expense of the Scots. Granted Tristernagh Abbey as a reward for his military services, he made it into his family home from the late 1560s until his death in 1603.
==Early years==
He came from a family whose seat was in Piers Hall in the county of York. He was the son of Richard Piers; his paternal grandfather was John Piers; his paternal great-grandfather was Gerald Piers. Nothing is known about his education.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Piers, William )〕
He was described by a deposition in the high court of admiralty, dated 27 November 1555, as ‘a tall burly man with a big, brown beard’ who was captain of a ship given to him by James Fitzgerald, 13th Earl of Desmond.〔 Piers was recruited by the acting as governor of Ireland, Thomas Radcliffe, Lord Fitzwalter, to participate in a naval expedition against the Scots in the North Channel and the Hebrides.〔 He was also highly active as a fisherman. In the spring of 1558, Piers participated in a second maritime attack on the MacDonalds who were emigrating to Ulster. In 1562, however, he developed diplomatic relations with James MacDonald after travelling to Kintyre to meet with him, but although he remained in contact with the MacDonalds for several years〔 he would soon do all he could to limit the power of the Scots.
