The Rosses of Bladenberg (the family of the late Major General Robert Ross) were converts to Catholicism. They remained, however, staunchly Loyalist and Unionist. In the second half of the 19thC they were regarded not only as one of Ireland's most prominent Catholic family but also one of the most vehemently anti-nationalist.
