Sir Robert Eyre (1666-1735) was an English lawyer, who served as Solicitor-General and then as a judge, ultimately as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. Eyre served as Solicitor-General from 1708 to 1710. In 1710, he was appointed a puisne judge of the Court of Queen's Bench. In 1718, he gave an opinion favouring the view of the Prince of Wales, rather than that of the king over the education of the prince's children, and was therefore passed over for promotion to be Lord Chief Justice of King's Bench. However, he was appointed Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer in 1723 and then appointed as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in 1725, a post in which he served until his death. He also served as Member of Parliament for Southampton from 1727 until 1729. From the Belton House Collection assembled in the 18th Century by the Rt. Hon. John Ld. Brownlow, Baron Charleville, & Viscount Tyrconnel in the Kingdom of Ireland. Ex: Collection of The Hon. C. Lenno

Sir Robert Eyre (1666-1735), solicitor-general (the title by which he is referred on this watercolour), judge, and ultimately as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. Eyre served as Solicitor-General from 1708 to 1710. In 1710, he was appointed a puisne judge of the Court of Queen's Bench. In 1718, he gave an opinion favouring the view of the prince of Wales rather than that of the king over the education of the prince's children, and was therefore passed over for promotion to be Lord Chief Justice of King's Bench. However, he was appointed Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer in 1723 and then appointed as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in 1725, a post in which he served until his death. He also served as Member of Parliament for Southampton from 1727 until 1729. Watercolour, probably after a portrait by Jonathan Richardson, by George Perfect Harding (1779/80-1853), miniature painter. Harding devoted himself to producing minute copies in watercolour of works of historical and antiquarian interest. Examples of his work are in several major British institutions. For a mezzotint of Eyre see ref. 12901.

Two portraits of Bernard-Raymond Fabré-Palaprat, one in the uniform of Grand Master of the Knights Templar, the other as Patriarch of the Johannite Church of Primitive Christians. Fabré-Palaprat (1773-1838), a Catholic priest turned chiropodist (because of the Revolution), who founded a revival of the Knights Templar called l'Orde du Temple and the Johannite Church in 1805. He claimed that it had been a secret continuation of the original Order which had gone underground upon its disolution in the 14th century. With the approval of Napoleon Boneparte the order spread quickly through the French empire, but internal divisions caused it to collapse after Fabré-Palaprat's death. However his church still exists as the Apostolic Johannite Church.
