About Edmund Pery, 1st Viscount Pery

Edmund Sexton Pery, 1st Viscount Pery was an Anglo-Irish politician who served as the penultimate Speaker of the Irish House of Commons between 1771 and 1785. He was one of the most powerful and prominent political figures in Ireland during the second half of the 18th century. As an Irish Patriot, he was a leading voice for the legislative independence of the Parliament of Ireland from the British parliament at Westminster, and opposed the Acts of Union 1800.
