Richard Martyn

Richard Martyn fitz Oliver (c. 1602 – 1648) was a Galway lawyer and member of the Catholic Confederates of Ireland. He was of the senior line of the Martyn family, one of the Tribes of Galway. Fitz Oliver lived at Dunguaire Castle, Kinvarra. He worked with his brother-in-law and first cousin, Patrick D'arcy, against the Plantation of Connaught in the 1630s, and served on the Supreme Council of the Confederate Catholics in the 1640s. Fitz Oliver also served as Mayor of Galway, 1642–1643.

He was survived by his wife, Magdalene French, and five children, Oliver Martyn, Peter, John, Patrick and Magdalene, and his father Oliver Martin fitz Richard. He is an ancestor of both Edward Martyn (1859–1923), of Tullira Castle, Galway, and the Hungarian artist, Ferenc Martyn (1899–1986).
