Valentine Brown Lawless, 2nd Baron Cloncurry (19 August 1773 – 28 October 1853), was an Irish peer, politician and landowner. In the 1790s he was an emissary in radical and reform circles in London for the Society of United Irishmen, and was twice detained on suspicion of sedition. He gained notoriety for his celebrated lawsuit for adultery against his former friend Sir John Piers, who had seduced Cloncurry's first wife, Elizabeth Georgiana Morgan. He took up residence at Lyons Hill, Ardclough, County Kildare and, commensurate with his status as an Anglo-Irish lord, appeared to reconcile to the Dublin authorities. Lawless served as a Viceregal advisor and eventually gained a British peerage, but it was not as an Ascendancy loyalist. He pressed the case for admitting Catholics to parliament

  • Valentine Brown Lawless, 2e baron Cloncurry (19 août 1773 - 28 octobre 1853), est un pair irlandais, homme politique et propriétaire terrien. Dans les années 1790, il est émissaire dans les cercles radicaux et réformistes à Londres pour la Société des Irlandais unis et est détenu à deux reprises pour suspicion de sédition. Il acquiert une notoriété pour son célèbre procès pour adultère contre son ancien ami Sir John Piers, qui a séduit la première épouse de Cloncurry, Elizabeth Georgiana Morgan. Il s'installe à Lyons Hill, Ardclough, dans le comté de Kildare, et à la mesure de son statut de lord anglo-irlandais, réconcilié avec les autorités de Dublin après sa jeunesse politiquement turbulente, sert en tant que conseiller du Vice-roi et finit par acquérir une pairie britannique.
