Irish politician Arthur MacMurrough Kavanagh ( 25 March 1831 - 25 December 1889 ) was an Irish politician . His middle name is spelt MacMorrough in some contemporaneous sources . Biography Arthur MacMurrough Kavanagh was born on 25 March 1831 at Borris House in County Carlow , the son of Thomas Kavanagh MP and artist Lady Harriet Margaret Le Poer Trench , daughter of the second Earl of Clancarty . His father traced his lineage to the medieval Kings of Leinster through Art MacMurrough-Kavanagh and furthermore being an 8th generation descendant of Cahir mac Art Kavanagh , 1st Baron of Ballyane . He had two older brothers , Charles and Thomas , and one sister , Harriet or " Hoddy . " Arthur Kavanagh was born with only the rudiments of arms and legs , though the cause of this birth defect is unknown . His mother insisted that he be brought up and have opportunities like any other child and placed him in the care of the doctor Francis Boxwell , who believed that an armless and legless child could live a productive life . Kavanagh learnt to ride horses at the age of three by being strapped to a special saddle and managing the horse with the stumps of his arms . With the help of the surgeon Sir Philip Crampton , Lady Harriet had a mechanical wheelchair constructed for her son , and encouraged him to ride horses and engage in other outdoor activities . He also went fishing , hunted animals , drew pictures , and wrote stories , with mechanical devices supplementing his physical capacities . His mother taught him how to write and paint holding pens and brushes in his mouth . In 1846 , Lady Harriet took three of her children , Thomas , Harriet and Arthur , travelling to the Middle East for two years . Arthur Kavanagh nearly drowned in the Nile when he fell in whilst fishing and was rescued by a local antiquities salesman who dived in to pull him out . In 1849 , Kavanagh 's mother discovered that he had been having affairs with girls on the family estate , so she sent him into exile to Uppsala , and then to Moscow with his brother and a clergyman , whom he came to hate . He travelled extensively in Egypt , Anatolia , Persia , and India between 1846 and 1853 ; in India , his letter of credit from his mother was cancelled when she discovered that he had spent two weeks in a harem , so he persuaded the East India Company to hire him as a despatch rider . Other sources say that this was due to the death of his eldest brother Charles of consumption in December 1851 , which left him with only 30 shillings . In 1851 , Kavanagh succeeded to the family estates and the title of The MacMurrough following the death of his older brother Thomas . He served as High Sheriff of County Kilkenny for 1856 and High Sheriff of Carlow for 1857 . A Conservative and a Protestant , he sat in Parliament for County Wexford from 1866 to 1868 , and for County Carlow from 1868 to 1880 . On being elected , he had to be placed on the Tory benches by his manservant ; the Speaker , Evelyn Denison , gave a special dispensation to allow the manservant to stay in the chamber during sittings . Kavanagh was opposed to the disestablishment of the ( Anglican ) Church of Ireland , but supported the Landlord and Tenant ( Ireland ) Act 1870 . On losing his seat in 1880 , William Ewart Gladstone appointed him to the Bessborough Commission , but he disagreed with its conclusions and published his own dissenting report . In 1886 , he was made a member of the Privy Council of Ireland . Kavanagh died of pneumonia on 25 December ( Christmas Day ) 1889 in London aged 58 , and was buried in Ballicopagan cemetery . He was succeeded in the title of the MacMurrough by his son , Walter MacMurrough Kavanagh , who also served as MP for County Carlow from 1908 to 1910 . The 1901 novel The History of Sir Richard Calmady , written by Lucas Malet ( pseudonym of Mary St Leger Kingsley ) , is based on his life . Family Kavanagh married his cousin , Mary Frances Forde-Leathley , in 1855 . Assisted by his wife , he was a philanthropic landlord , active county magistrate , and chairman of the board of guardians . Together , they had seven children : * Eva ( died 1896 ) * May ( died 1949 ) * Agnes ( died 1932 ) * Walter ( died 1922 ) * Arthur ( died 1882 ) * Charles ( died 1950 ) * Osborne ( died 1897 ) |
