Trimble began his career as a Professor of Law at The Queen's University of Belfast in the 1970s, during which time he began to get involved with the paramilitary-linked Vanguard Progressive Unionist Party. He was elected to the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention in 1975, and joined the UUP in 1978 after the VPUP disbanded. Remaining at Queen's University, he continued his academic career until being elected as the MP for Upper Bann in 1990. In 1995 he was unexpectedly elected as the leader of the UUP. He was instrumental in the negotiations that led to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, and (along with John Hume) won the Nobel Peace Prize that year for his efforts. He was later elected to become the first First Minister of Northern Ireland, although his tenure was turbulent and frequently interrupted by disagreements over the timetable for Provisional Irish Republican Army decommissioning.
Lord Trimble, Unionist architect of Good Friday Agreement, has died - BBC News
Lord Trimble, the former first minister of Northern Ireland and Ulster Unionist Party leader, has died.
Lord Trimble, who was 77, led the UUP between 1995 and 2005, and was instrumental in the negotiation of the Good Friday Agreement - the peace deal which ended the worst of Northern Ireland's sectarian violence.
His efforts won him the Nobel Peace Prize along with SDLP leader John Hume. Since 2006, he sat in the House of Lords as Baron Trimble of Lisnagarvey.
He was the first person to serve in the role of First Minister in the new Northern Ireland Executive, established as part of the Good Friday Agreement.
A statement from the UUP said: "It is with great sadness that the family of Lord Trimble announce that he passed away peacefully following a short illness."

N IRELAND: UNIONIST LEADERS DAVID TRIMBLE AND IAN PAISLEY CLASH
(17 Apr 1998) English/Nat
Unionist parties loyal to Britain clashed angrily at a meeting of the Northern Ireland Forum in Belfast on Friday.
As Ulster Unionist Party leader David Trimble defended the Northern Ireland peace agreement, he was heckled by hardliners, led by the leader of the Democratic Unionists, the Reverend Ian Paisley.
The clash comes a day after Trimble launched his party's 'Yes' campaign in the referendum on the peace agreement, to be held on May 22.
The Northern Ireland Forum was established two years ago to promote dialogue between political parties.
On Friday, a week after the historic signing of the Stormont peace accord, Ulster Unionist Party leader David Trimble stood up in front of other Unionist party members to defend the agreement.

(17 Apr 1998) English/Nat
Unionist parties loyal to Britain clashed angrily at a meeting of the Northern Ireland Forum in Belfast on Friday.
As Ulster Unionist Party leader David Trimble defended the Northern Ireland peace agreement, he was heckled by hardliners, led by the leader of the Democratic Unionists, the Reverend Ian Paisley.
The clash comes a day after Trimble launched his party's 'Yes' campaign in the referendum on the peace agreement, to be held on May 22.
The Northern Ireland Forum was established two years ago to promote dialogue between political parties.
On Friday, a week after the historic signing of the Stormont peace accord, Ulster Unionist Party leader David Trimble stood up in front of other Unionist party members to defend the agreement.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Northern Ireland's place within the United Kingdom has been secured. That Act of Union - the fundamental piece of legislation defining Northern Ireland's place within the United Kingdom - remains firmly in place. The Act of Union is the Union."
SUPER CAPTION: David Trimble, Ulster Unionist Party leader
The constitutional future of the Union has been the main stumbling block to unanimous Unionist support.
The Reverend Ian Paisley - the sternest critic of the accord - and his deputy Peter Robinson barracked and heckled Trimble.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I have the document. And for Mr Trimble to talk about changes. To say that he has amended the document. To say that he has brought in great changes."
SUPER CAPTION: Reverend Ian Paisley, Democratic Unionist Party leader
Lord Alderdice of the moderate Alliance Party was swift to condemn Paisley for holding back the chance of peace.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"These people don't want to hear it. They're not interested in freedom of speech. They're not interested in the truth. They're not even interested in what's in the document. They just know they are against it because they ran away from the table and didn't participate in the thing."
SUPER CAPTION: Lord Alderdice, Alliance Party leader
But the worst is not yet over for Trimble.
The Ulster Unionist leader must face 700 of his party's delegates in Belfast on Saturday in a bid to persuade them to accept the peace agreement.
Paisley also begins a series of demonstrations next week as part of a massive anti-agreement campaign before the referendum on May 22.

"These people don't want to hear it. They're not interested in freedom of speech. They're not interested in the truth. They're not even interested in what's in the document. They just know they are against it because they ran away from the table and didn't participate in the thing."
SUPER CAPTION: Lord Alderdice, Alliance Party leader
But the worst is not yet over for Trimble.
The Ulster Unionist leader must face 700 of his party's delegates in Belfast on Saturday in a bid to persuade them to accept the peace agreement.
Paisley also begins a series of demonstrations next week as part of a massive anti-agreement campaign before the referendum on May 22.

The eulogy at the funeral of Lord Trimble reflected on his family life and their holidays to Europe.
The service for the former first minister and Ulster Unionist Party leader was held in Lisburn.
The Very Rev Dr Charles McMullen said David Trimble's wife Daphne first met him when he was a law lecturer at Queen's University and that their children enjoyed holidays on the continent as a way to have some "uninterrupted time" with their father.
Trimble began his career as a Professor of Law at The Queen's University of Belfast in the 1970s, during which time he began to get involved with the paramilitary-linked Vanguard Progressive Unionist Party. He was elected to the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention in 1975, and joined the UUP in 1978 after the VPUP disbanded. Remaining at Queen's University, he continued his academic career until being elected as the MP for Upper Bann in 1990. In 1995 he was unexpectedly elected as the leader of the UUP. He was instrumental in the negotiations that led to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, and (along with John Hume) won the Nobel Peace Prize that year for his efforts. He was later elected to become the first First Minister of Northern Ireland, although his tenure was turbulent and frequently interrupted by disagreements over the timetable for Provisional Irish Republican Army decommissioning.
