Excerpt from A New and General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 3 of 15: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts of Time to the Present Period, Wherein Their Remarkable Actions and Sufferi In 1595 he married at Limeric, Joan, the daughter and coheiress of William Ansley of Pulborough, in Sussex, esq. who had fallen in love with him. This lady died 1599, in labour of her first child (who was born a dead son) leaving her husband an estate of 5001. a year in lands, which was the beginning of his fortunes. Some time after, sir Henry Wallop of Nares, fir Robert Gardiner, chief justice of the king´s bench, fir Robert Dillam, chief justice of the common pleas, and fir Richard Bingham, chief commissioner of Connaught, envious at certain purchases he had made in the province, represented to queen Elizabeth that he was in the pay of the king of Spain (who had at that time some thoughts of invading Ireland; by whom he had been furnished with money to buy several large estates; and that he was strongly suspected to be a roman catholic in his heart, with many other malicious suggestions equally groundless. Mr. Boyle, having private notice of this, determined to come over to England to justify himself: but before he could take shipping, the general rebellion in Munster broke out; all his lands were wafted, so that he had not one penny of certain revenue left. In this distress he betook himself to his former chamber in the Middle Temple, intending to renew his studies in the law till the rebellion should be suppressed. When the earl of Essex was nominated lord-deputy of Ireland, Mr. Boyle being recommended to him by Mr. Anthony Bacon, was received by his lordship very graciously; and fir Henry Wallop, treasurer of Ireland, knowing that Mr. Boyle had in his custody several papers which could detect his roguish manner of passing his accounts, resolved utterly to depress him, and for that end renewed his former complaints against him to the queen. By her majesty´s special directions, Mr. Boyle was suddenly taken up, and committed close prisoner to the Gatehouse: all his papers were seized and searched; and although nothing appeared to his prejudice, yet his confinement lasted till two months after his new patron the earl of Essex was gone to Ireland. At length, with much difficulty, he obtained the favour of the queen to be present at his examination; and having fully answered whatever was alleged against him, he gave a short account of his own behaviour since he first settled in Ireland, and concluded with laying open to the queen and her council the conduct of his chief enemy fir Henry Wallop.
