Baronet

On 7 September 1633 Browne succeeded his father as the 2nd Baronet Browne of Molahiffe.

Parliament

When Charles I summoned the Irish Parliament of 1634–1635, Browne stood for County Kerry County and was elected. The Lord Deputy of Ireland, Thomas Wentworth (the future Lord Strafford) demanded taxes: six subsidies of £50,000 (equivalent to about £8,900,000 in 2021) were passed unanimously. The parliament also belatedly and incompletely ratified the Graces of 1628, in which the King had conceded rights for money.

Marriage and children

Before 1638 Sir Valentine married Mary MacCarthy, the second daughter of Sir Charles (alias Cormac) MacCarthy, 1st Viscount Muskerry and his first wife Margaret O'Brien. She was a sister of his stepmother, his father's second wife.

Valentine and Mary had four children, two sons:

  1. Valentine (1638–1694), 1st Viscount Kenmare
  2. John of Ardagh (died 1706), married in 1672 Joan, daughter of Edmund Butler and sister of Pierce Butler, 6th Baron Cahir, but died childless.

—and two daughters:

  1. Ellis, married John Tobin of Cumpshinagh, County Tipperary.
  2. Eleanor, married a Mr. Power of Kilmeadon, County Waterford.

Death and timeline

Sir Valentine died 25 April 1640 and was buried on 6 July 1640 at the church of Killarney. His son succeeded at the age of two and became a ward of his uncle Donough MacCarty, 2nd Viscount Muskerry.
