Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - Rathfarnham - History

Rathfarnham - Military Road. Rathfarnham is the start of the infamous Military Road.

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - English Civil War - Background

English Civil War - The King's aspirations. Contemporaries must have found it unthinkable that a civil war could result from the events taking place. War broke out less than forty years after the death of the popular Elizabeth I in 1603. At the accession of Charles I, England and Scotland had both experienced relative peace, both internally and in their relations with each other, for as long as anyone could remember. Charles hoped to unite the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland into a new single kingdom, f ...

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - Flight of the Wild Geese - Spanish service

The first Irish troops to serve as a unit for a continental power formed an Irish regiment in the Spanish army of Flanders in the Eighty Years War in the 1580s. The regiment had been raised by an English Catholic, William Stanley in Ireland, from native Irish soldiers and mercenaries, whom the English authorities wanted out of the country (See also Tudor re-conquest of Ireland). Stanley was given a commission by Elizabeth I and was intended to lead his regiment on the English side, in support of the Dutch United Provinces. However, in 1585, ...

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - Felim O'Neill of Kinard - Rebellion

However, in common with many Irish Catholics, and especially Gaelic Irishmen, O'Neill felt threatened by the Protestant English government of Ireland. In particular, they were aggrieved at Catholic exclusion from Public Office and the continual confiscations of Catholic owned land. This fear reached its high point in the late 1630s and early 1640s, when Thomas Wentworth, a minister of Charles I, was known to be planning widespread new plantations. A crisis point was reached in 1641, when the Scottish Covenanters and English Long Parliament threatened t ...

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - English Civil War - The Eleven Years' Tyranny and a rebellion in Scotland

Charles I managed to avoid calling a Parliament for a decade. Depending upon one's political affiliation, this time was known either as the "Eleven Years' Tyranny" or "Charles' Personal Rule". This policy broke down when he was involved in a series of disastrous and expensive wars against his Scottish subjects, the Bishops' Wars of 1639 and 1640. Charles believed in a sacramental version of the Church of England, called High Anglicanism, with a theology based upon Arminianism, a belief shared by his main political advisor, Archbishop ...

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - Irish nationalism - History

Irish nationalism - Roots. Ireland has been subject to varying degrees of rule from England since the late 12th century. (See Norman Ireland). The Gaelic Irish resisted this conquest through military and other means, but were organised in small independent lordships and did not have a common political goal such as an independent Irish state. Conflict over the English presence was exacerbated by the Protestant Reformation in England, which introduced a religious element to the Tudor re-conquest of Ireland. Another central feature of future Anglo-Irish conflict was the continuing dispossession of Irish Catho ...

The fifty years from 1641 to 1691 saw two catastrophic periods of civil war in Ireland 1641-53 and 1689-91, which killed hundreds of thousands of people and left others in permanent exile. The wars, which pitted Irish Catholics against British forces and Protestant settlers, ended in the almost complete dispossesion of the Catholic landed elite.

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - Williamite war in Ireland - The Glorious Revolution

The War in Ireland began as a direct consequence of the Glorious Revolution in England. James, who was a Roman Catholic attempted to introduce freedom of religion for Catholics and to bypass the English Parliament in order to introduce unpopular laws. For many in England, this was an unpleasant reminder of the rule of Charles I, whose conflict with the Parliament had ended with the outbreak of the English Civil War. The breaking point in James' relationship with the English political class came when his wife gave birth to a son - which opene ...

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - Penal law - In Irish history

In Ireland these laws were also put into force from the early 1600s. They had a pronounced effect, disenfranchising the majority of the Irish population who were Roman Catholic or Presbyterian in favour of the much smaller official Church of Ireland. Though the laws affected adherents of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland (concentrated in Ulster), its principal victims were members of the Roman Catholic Church, which was the religion of over three quarters of the people on the island, and the faith of the overwhelming majority of the "mere Irish" (in contempo ...

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - Oliver Cromwell - Ireland and Scotland

See also: Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, Irish Confederate Wars, and Scottish Civil War. Cromwell's actions made him very unpopular in Scotland and Ireland which, as previously independent nations, were effectively conquered by English forces during the civil wars. In particular, Cromwell's brutal suppression of the Royalists in Ireland, during 1649, still has a strong resonance for many Irish people. The most enduring symbol of this brutality is the siege of Drogheda in September 1649. The massacre of nearly 3,500 people in ...

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - Plantations of Ireland - Early Plantations

The early Plantations of Ireland occurred in the context of the Tudor re-conquest of Ireland. This hoped to pacify and Anglicise Ireland under English rule, incorporating Ireland’s native ruling classes into the English aristocracy. By this means, it was hoped that Ireland would become a peaceful and reliable possession and would no longer be a source of rebellions and base for foreign invasions. "Plantations" or colonisation, played a major part in this policy. They took two forms in the first half of the 16th century. The first was "exem ...

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - United Ireland - Kings and High Kings

Before the coming of the Normans there existed the title of Ard Rí (High King), usually held by the Uí Néill but this was more of a ceremonial title denoting a sort of "first among equals" rather than an absolute monarchy as developed in England and Scotland. Nevertheless, several strong characters imbued the office with real power, most notably Mael Seachlainn I (845-860), Flann Sinna (877-914), Mael Seachlainn II Mor (979-1002;1014-1022) Brian Boru (1002-1014), Muircheartach Ua Briain (110 ...

Cromwellian conquest of Ireland: Encyclopedia II - History of Dublin - Colonial Dublin

Dublin and its inhabitants were transformed by the upheavals of the 16th and 17th centuries in Ireland. These saw the first thorough English conquest of the whole island under the Tudor dynasty. While the Old English community of Dublin and the Pale were happy with the conquest and disarmament of the native Irish, they were deeply alienated by the Protestant reformation that had taken place in England, being all almost all Roman Catholics. In addition, they were angered by being forced to pay for the English garrisons of the country through ...

The next phase in the life of Waterford began on August 25th, 1170 when the city was taken by the Normans under Strongbow. The Normans had been casting eyes in this direction for some time prior, until MacMurrough’s invitation gave them cause for coming. Henry II of England arrived in Waterford the following year to keep the expeditionary chiefs in line and receive their homage. The next royal visitor, in 1185, was prince John, who granted the city's first Charter in 1205 thus starting City Government in Waterford. He revisited the city as ki ...
