Phoenix Park murders (6 May 1882), the assassination with surgical knives of the newly appointed Irish chief secretary, Lord Frederick Cavendish, and the under‐secretary, T. H. Burke, carried out by the Invincibles. Horrifying British opinion, the murders forced Gladstone to maintain coercion in Ireland at a time when, following the Kilmainham treaty, it was about to be dropped, and impelled a depressed Parnell momentarily to consider resigning from parliament.
