Edward Poyning

Edward Poyning

Edward Poynings (1459 - 1521) was Lord Deputy to King Henry VII of England.

Poynings had to leave England very quickly after taking part in a failed revolt against Richard III in 1483. Escaping to Brittany, he became associated with the future Henry VII while in exile there. He was later rewarded for his services through his appointment as Lord Deputy to Ireland, where he made the Irish Parliament subordinate to the English Parliament in order to reduce Yorkist influences. Upon his return to England in 1496 he enjoyed other military and civil posts.
