Walter de Wogan
Walter de Wogan (died after 1328) was a Welsh-born Irish administrator, soldier and judge of the early fourteenth century.
He was a younger son of
Justiciar of Ireland from 1295 to 1313.[1] Originally a Pembrokeshire man, John acquired substantial estates at Rathcoffey in County Kildare. Much about the details of his family life is disputed, including the names and number of his children, although Walter's existence and paternity are not in doubt. He was probably a child of his father's first marriage to Joan Picton, daughter of Sir William Picton of Picton Castle
, Pembrokeshire.
Walter gave good service to the
heirs.[1]
His date of death is not recorded. His brother John was also a justice of the Irish Justiciar's Court.
