James Annesley
James Annesley (1715 – 5 January 1760) was an
Irishman with a claim to the title
Earl of Anglesey, one of the wealthiest estates in
Ireland. The dispute between Annesley and his uncle Richard Annesley was infamous in its time, but his story is perhaps best known today as a possible inspiration for the 19th-century novel ''
Kidnapped'' by
Robert Louis Stevenson and other works.
