Plantations In Ireland

Mary I Of England
Mary I (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558), also known as Mary Tudor, was Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 and Queen of Spain as the wife of King Philip II from January 1556 until her death in 1558. She made vigorous attempts to reverse the English Reformation, which had begun during the reign of her father, King Henry VIII. Her attempt to restore to the Church the property confiscated in the previous two reigns was largely thwarted by Parliament but, during her five-year reign, more than 280 religious dissenters were burned at the stake in what became known as the Marian persecutions, leading later commentators to label her "Bloody Mary". Mary was the only surviving child of Henry VIII by his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. She was declared illegitimate and barred from the line of succession following the annulment of her parents' marriage in 1533, but was restored via the Third Succession Act 1543. Her younger half-brother, Edward VI, succeede ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nine Years' War (Ireland)
The Nine Years' War (May 1593 – 30 March 1603) was a conflict in Ireland between a confederacy of Irish lords (with Spanish support) and the English-led government. The war was primarily a response to the ongoing Tudor conquest of Ireland, and was also part of the Anglo-Spanish War and the European wars of religion. Henry VIII of England established the Kingdom of Ireland in 1542 as an English dependency. Various clans accepted English sovereignty under the surrender and regrant policy. Widespread resentment developed amongst the Gaelic nobility against English rule by the early 1590s, due to the execution of Gaelic chieftains, the pillaging of chiefdoms by British sheriffs, and Catholic persecution. The war is generally considered to have begun with Hugh Maguire revolting against the appointment of Humphrey Willis as sheriff of Fermanagh. The war began in Ulster and northern Connacht as Ulster lords Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and Hugh Roe O'Donnell revolted agai ...

Desmond Rebellions
The Desmond Rebellions occurred in 1569–1573 and 1579–1583 in the Irish province of Munster. They were rebellions by the Earl of Desmond, the head of the FitzGerald dynasty in Munster, and his followers, the Geraldines and their allies, against the threat of the extension of the English government over the province. The rebellions were motivated primarily by the desire to maintain the independence of feudal lords from their monarch but also had an element of religious antagonism between Catholic Geraldines and the Protestant English state. They culminated in the destruction of the Desmond dynasty and the plantation or colonisation of Munster with English Protestant settlers. 'Desmond' is the Anglicisation of the Irish ''Deasmumhain'', meaning 'South Munster'. In addition to the scorched earth policy, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Warham St Leger, Perrot and later Nicholas Malby and Lord Grey and William Pelham, deliberately targeted civilians, including women and children, the ...

Enterprise Of Ulster
The Enterprise of Ulster was a programme launched in the 1570s where Queen Elizabeth I tried to get English entrepreneurs settled in areas of Ireland troubled by the activities of Ulster. Under this programme Nicholas Malby, Thomas Chatterton and Sir Thomas Smith were granted large areas of Eastern Ulster and a larger area in Clandeboye, a grant of all of County Antrim except for the Route and the Glens, was granted to the Earl of Essex in 1571. It is believed that Malby never followed up regarding his grant, though he did serve in the military. This was an attempt by the crown to counter resistance in Ulster. This programme was, by all accounts, unsuccessful. Background For some time after the enterprise was established, the crown did not actively interfere in the affairs of the other Provinces of Ireland.
