Note: From the Sotheby's catalog: "The crest of an arm in armour embowed holding a cutlass all ppr. and the motto Dieu pour la Tranche, qui contre? under a baron's coronet, are those of Trench of Garballay, County Galway, probably for Richard Le-Poer Trench (1767-1837) created Baron Trench of Garballay in 1815, Viscount Conclarty in 1823. He was MP for Newtown Limavady 1796-97 and for County Galway 1797-1800 and 1801-1805 and Governer of County Galway, 1805, Custos. Rot., Representative Peer for Ireland, 1808-1837, Ambassador to the Hague, 1813-23, one of the Plenipotentiaries at the Congress of Vienna.
In 1796, he married Henrietta Margaret, second daughter of the Rt. Hon. John Staples, by his first wife, Harriet, daughter of the Rt. Hon. William Conolly, of Castletown, Co. Kildare.
Harriet Cavendish, daughter of the 5th Duke of Devonshire and Georgiana, and her husband, Viscount Granville succeeded as Ambassador and Ambassadress to the Hague in 1823. She described Baron Trench as 'a bustling, hard man, evidently galled at giving up the Embassy, but very civil to us. She, an excellent, head-aching woman, with none of the representation or insolence of an Ambassadress. Two very ugly, obliging daughters, and a ditto son' (The Complete Peerage).
