Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Literary and Biographical History, or Bibliographical Dictionary of the English Catholics, Vol. 4: From the Breach With Rome, in 1534, to the Present Time Kemeys, David Joseph, O.P., confessor of the faith, born of honourable parentage, was probably a relative of Sir Nicholas Kemeys, of Ceven Mably, co. Glamorgan, grandson of David Kemeys, of the same place. Sir Nicholas was created a baronet by Charles I. in 1642. He was colonel of a regiment of horse, and, at the outbreak of the rebellion, was appointed, by the king, Governor of Chepstow Castle. This he gallantly and successfully defended against Cromwell, but subsequently was slain during the siege by Col. Ewer. The title became extinct on the death of the fourth baronet in 1735. John Kemeys, of Monmouthshire, who was ordained priest at the English college at Rome in 1658, was probably of the same family. David Kemeys was professed at the Dominican convent of SS. Giovanni e Paolo, at Rome, and after his ordination came to London. Here he was chaplain to Elizabeth, Countess-dowager of Arundel, mother of Cardinal Howard. In 1679 he was impeached by Oates as a conspirator. The perjurer, in his narrative of the plot, asserted that Fr. Kemeys was nominated by the Pope for the See of Bangor. On Jan. 17, 1679-80, he and several others were brought to the Old Bailey and arraigned for "high-treason as Romish priests." Fr. Kemeys was the first brought to the bar, but being very ill and weak, he was remanded by Scroggs, the Lord Chief Justice, who sent him back to Newgate, "that the world may not say we are grown barbarous and inhumane; we are all contented he should be set by.
