What is recorded here
Basil Brooke lived and died at Colebrooke Park in County Fermanagh, the green heart of a life spent shaping Northern Ireland. He led its government through twenty years of war and change, yet history still argues about whether his love for people or his hatred for others mattered more. That contradiction remains alive in every room where his name is spoken.
Why this person is known: Northern Irish politician (1888-1973)
