Originated from England, worked as an estate manager for the Anglo-Irish landowner Lord Erne in Ireland. Faced hostility from local tenants due to high rents and harsh eviction practices. In 1880, after failing to secure a reduction in rent, the tenants engaged in a campaign of social ostracism against him. This event led to the coining of the term 'boycott', which became synonymous with nonviolent protest and economic coercion. Eventually, Boycott left Ireland following the sustained pressure from the local community. His experiences highlighted the deep tensions within Irish land ownership and tenant rights during that period.
