Joseph Mary Plunkett (21 November, 1887 - 4 May, 1916) was an Irish nationalist, poet, journalist, and leader of the 1916 Easter Rising. His father, George Noble Plunkett, was a papal count and curator of the National Museum, although his father's cousin, a Protestant named Horace Plunkett was a Unionist who sought to reconcile both sides, but instead witnessed his own home burned down during the Anglo-Irish War.
