Biography
Donogh MacCarty, 4th Earl of Clancarty (1668-1734) was the son of Callaghan MacCarty, 3rd Earl of Clancarty and Lady Elizabeth FitzGerald. He married Lady Elizabeth Spencer, daughter of Robert Spencer, 2nd Earl of Sunderland and Lady Anne Digby, on 31 December 1684 at Westminster Abbey, Westminster, London, England.
He succeeded his father as 4th Earl of Clancarty, co. Cork on 21 November 1676. He fought in the Siege of Cork in 1690, where he was captured and confined to the Tower. On 11 May 1691 he was attainted and his estates and titles forfeited. He subsequently fled to France in May 1694. He was commander of the troop of Horse Guards in France between 1694 and 1697. In 1698 he secretly returned to England, was betrayed by his brother-in-law, Charles, Lord Spencer, and was again imprisoned in the Tower. Lady Russell obtained a pardon for him, on condition he stayed permanently abroad. He was Lord of the Bedchamber to the titular King James III on 4 August 1707.
