    Emmanuel Patrick MacSwiney, Marquis of Mashanaglass (1871-1945) was born in Paris, his father being an Irish banker and his mother a Polish countess. A gifted linguist, he served on several diplomatic missions for the Holy See, being created a marquis by Pope Leo XIII in 1895. In 1914 he and his family settled in Dublin, where he joined the Irish Volunteers.

  • Suck Diesel said:
    The photo is 1922 and would relate to Ireland’s bid to join the League of Nations in Geneva, so doesn’t match the date of MacSwiney’s Papal honour

    Suck Diesel Wish all of our photos had names written on the back! Although we'd have a lot less fun here... Thank you for identifying all of our gentlemen today!

    Google Lens is suggesting a "Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Malta", whatever that is. See similar garb - from - ristorantevillaalta.com/villa-sagna/
  • O Mac said:
    Was this taken at the 1922 Met Gala?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Certainly looks identical. Now on to the "whatever that is", the whoever that is, whenever that was, and the photographer...
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    O Mac Probably a bit too understated.
  • John Spooner said:
    Reporting the coronation of Pope Pius XI in February 1922, the correspondent of the Drogheda Independent noted that
    The Knights of the Order of Malta and those of the Holy Sepulchre were much admired in their red and white uniforms
