Richard Bingley was a Welsh-born soldier who settled in Ireland. In 1610 Bingley was appointed Constable of Doe Castle.[1] He was granted a significant estate as part of the Plantation of Ulster. Along with his elder brother Sir Ralph Bingley, he turned County Donegal into a centre of Welsh settlement.[2]
