Reginald de Snyterby

Reginald de Snyterby was an Irish judge of the fifteenth century, from a family of English origin which produced several Irish judges.
He was probably born in Dublin, to a family which originated in Snitterby, Lincolnshire, and came to Ireland in the late thirteenth century. He was related, though in precisely what degree is unclear, to two Irish judges with the same surname in earlier generations, Thomas de Snyterby and Nicholas de Snyterby.
He is first heard of in 1410 when he received a royal pardon for their good services for "intruding" onto lands at-Ballyfermot which he held jointly with Wolfram Bernevall against the Bishop of Meath, Edward Dantsey, which ended in his acquittal. In 1434, two years before his death, Reginald was appointed to a judicial commission to inquire into all treasons committed in Dublin and the counties of the Pale.
He appears to have owned considerable property in Dublin. He had one daughter Joanna, who married John Bennet, Mayor of Dublin in 1456–7, and had issue, including Thomas. John Bennet died before 1479. Joanna was still alive in 1484, when she granted some of her lands in County Dublin to the Prior of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Dublin, now Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin.
