CAREW, GEORGE, born in Devonshire in 1557, and an eminent commander in Ireland, was made president of Munster by Queen Elizabeth; when, joining his forces with the Earl of Thomond, he reduced the Irish insurgents, and brought the Earl of Desmond to trial. King James made him governor of Guernsey, and created him a baron. As he was a valiant commander, he was no less a polite scholar, and wrote Hibernia Pacata, or a history of the wars in Ireland, printed, after his death, in 1633. He made several collections for a history of Henry V., which are digested into Speed's History of Great Britain.
