William Tynbegh, or de Thinbegh (c.1370-1424) was an Irish lawyer who had a long and distinguished career as a judge, holding office as Chief Justice of all three of the courts of common law and as Lord High Treasurer of Ireland. His career is unusual both for the exceptionally young age at which he became a judge, and because left the Bench to become Attorney General for Ireland, but later returned to judicial office.
He ordered the preparation of an Exchequer Issue Roll (i.e. the official record of payments out of the Irish Exchequer) for the year 1414 when he held the office of Deputy Treasurer. The Roll is of great value to historians for providing an account of a turbulent year in Irish politics, and the personnel involved. It is one of the few official records of the time which was not destroyed in the Four Courts explosion of 1922.[1]
