On August 6, 1312, Sir John de Wogan, a Cambro-Norman judge and Lord of Picton, ceased his term as Justiciar of Ireland. The Justiciar was the chief governor of Ireland, representing the English Crown. His departure marked a transition in the administration of English rule in Ireland, with Edmund le Botiller stepping in to act as Justiciar. Wogan had served multiple terms, playing a crucial role in maintaining English authority and legal structures during a complex period of Anglo-Norman influence and Gaelic resurgence in medieval Ireland.
