1611 - 1615 AD
Confiscation, Irish Penal Laws and further Massive Plantation
1611 AD
Although a furher 5,000 English
Ascendancy Episcopalian
Church of England "planters" were to be brought into
the
Munster Province,
over time the Catholic
Irish were to be able to regain one third of their
territory back through
inter -
marriage, their
Celtic culture, the Irish environment, and their
strong Celtic religious commitment,
which was to also included the
descendants of
Edmund Spenser a previous favourite
of
Elizabeth 1st
and Sir
Walter Raleigh, who had
been
staunchly anti - Irish
and
anti - Catholic
during their life times.
In the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Breifne O Reillys kingdom of East Breifne at Clonkee in Co. Cavan in Southern Ulster 64,377 acres, which was just on two thirds of their total territory there, was now given over to English Ascendancy Episcopalian "planters" with some of them receiving up to 5000 acres each and the Church of England Ascendancy Episcopalian Institution of Trinity College in Dublin in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Province had also received another 100,000 acres in the Ulster Province from the territory of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain O Nialls in Co. Tyrone, and from the territory of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel Conaill O Donnells in Co. Donegal, and the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch Maguires of Co. Fermanagh. Despite all of these massive confiscations and the contentious removal of the Irish Septs there the English "plantations" were still to occur at a slow pace as those the English authorities were to put in there were plain country English gentlemen who were not only easily scared, but also tight fisted, and this caused many of them to sell up or exchange their portions of land to the Lowland Presbyterian "planters" who were much tougher and willing to make use of the Mere Irish who they were not supposed to allow back onto their previous Irish territory under the new imposed English Laws. They were to even lease their "extra" land back to the Mere Irish, but even with this unknown measure, which went against the decree of James 1st, the actual "plantations" still continued to be slow.
The English East India Company,
which was to take over complete control in India, under British Imperialism, which would lead onto the
terrible devastation causing so much misery also there
to the indigenous
population,
set up an
Iron Works on
the coast of Co.
Cork
in Southern Munster, were they built
2 ships, but it
too was to soon come to
an end in 1613 AD.
Catholic priests
were once again ordered out of Ireland.
1612 AD O
Devanny
/ Ui a Duibheannaigh the Catholic Bishop of
Conor &
Down in the south - east of the Ulster
Province was
killed.
Francis Blennerhasset built Castle Caldwell in Co. Fermanagh in the south - west of the Ulster Province, against any chance of attack by the Irish Septs there in the kingdom and territory of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch Maguires and Sir Arthur Chichester from Devonshire in England who acted for James 1st to install Ascendancy Episcopalians in the Irish territories received a Charter to build a town at Belfast in the north - east of Ulster.
James 1st, who was worried by all of the men at arms
/ mercenaries that were still in
private hands in Ireland, shipped out
6,000
of them
who were
privately kept by
the English
Lords along with other persons of means
to Sweden.
1613 AD
May:
A plan was put in place by James 1st's
Undertalers,
Sir
Arthur Chichester and
Sir
John Davies to also set up the
non - Catholic Ascendancy Parliament
in Ireland with an Episcopalian Ascendancy majority so as to pass their legislation to suite
their own agendas, including a
Bill
against the
Catholic priests, especially the
Jesuits, to
stop the
Catholic Irish
and Anglo - Irish from sending their children
abroad
to be educated, and to force
the
Catholic New English
and Old English / Anglo - Irish
in
Ireland to be subject to their
English Recusancy Laws
for not conforming
to the Church of England, and 40 extra
Boroughs were created for their
Ascendancy
House of Commons with
18 in
the
Ulster
Province
going to the
Corporations to ensure the positions of
the Ascendancy representatives.
James 1st
the first Stuart King of England
now decreed that the English
Ascendancy
"plantations" must be completed in Ireland
much faster then what was occurring, and to this end he also granted
Jenkin Conway, who
was another of his English
"plantation"
Undertakers, the
Killorglin Castle
of the Desmond
Fitz Geralds in
Co. Kerry
in the south - west of the Munster Province,
and also
gave him permission to hold a
Lammas (Puck Fair) at
Killorgan on
the River
Laune and because of this action this then allowed the
Irish Fair
that was already being held by the
Irish
Septs there to be continued on as the
Puck Fair, which is still held over
3 days
from August 10th - 12th.
The ruins of the
Castle Conway are still there to
be seen north of the
Mac Gilli Cuddy
Reeks
the
territory of the
O Sullivan /
Mac Ellicott's
in
Listowel
and Tralee
were
also
confiscated in
Co. Kerry in the south - west of
Munster.
May 18th:
The
Ascendancy Anglo Parliament was re - opened in
Ireland for the
first time since
1586 AD in
Dublin
in Co. Dublin in Southern
Leinster under
James 1st's representative Sir
Arthur Chichester composed
of nearly all English Church of England Episcopalians who
lived within
The English Pale
that surrounded
Dublin, with
18 Irish only elected In the
House of Lords, and the numbers were
Church of England Episcopalians 24 - Catholic
Irish and
Anglo -
Irish 12,
and in the House of
Commons
Church of England Episcopalians
132, Catholic Irish
and
Anglo - Irish
100. The
Catholic
Irish
and the Anglo - Irish put up
Sir
John Everard a
staunch Anglo -
Irish Catholic
in
opposition to the
anti - Catholic
persecutor,
Sir
John Davies as the
Speaker, but it was really all
just a
game of numbers
and they were unsuccessful, and they werev so disheartened that they then withdrew from the
Ascendancy Parliament altogether in protest at the
blatant
gerrymandering that had been
perpetrated, followed by the minority members who were also in the
House of Lords and what was
supposed to be an Irish Parliament
was closed down again.
New Irish Penal Laws
were introduced against the
Irish Septs,
so that they were not allowed their
religion,
livelihoods,
any
rights as citizens, possessions,
education, and their
Families
were to be
split up so that when an Irish
Catholic father
died his children
were taken away and given to the Ascendancy Church of England
Episcopalians, with the sole purpose of totally demoralizing the
Irish Families, and any property was
also taken from them, thereby removing their chances of earning a living, and to
ensure that their
children were reared as
English Episcopalians. Eventually
only 2% of
Ireland itself would remain in the hands
of the
Irish
Families
as all Irish
Catholics were now also excluded from
inheriting their own land, as the Ascendancy appointed
Judges informed them that,
"The law does not suppose any such person as an
Irish Catholic exists."
The
ever growing
Commercial
influence of the merchants in the
English
Ascendancy Parliament
also,
created bans on all
Irish Cattle and
Dairy Products,
Soap,
Candles,
Cloth,
Glass,
Linen
and Corn,
and they also tried to stop the Irish
Fisheries, while all Irish Wool had to go
only to
England,
and there was to be
no
Irish ships built, and
no
merchant ships were now allowed to load or unload at any
Irish
Port.
James 1st
the Stuart King of England gazetted
Castlebar in
Co. Mayo
in the mid - west of the Connacht Province as a town
this year,
and gave the merchants in the
City of London
12 lots
there also,
and sold numerous English Baronets for
money, to anybody who could pay, and they were then given permission also to use the
ancient Gaelic Milesian Irian insignia of the
Red Hand of Ulster.
Usher,
the Ascendancy Church of England
Archbishop in
Armagh,
died this year, who lived at
Termonfeckin in
Co. Louth
in the north - east of Northern Leinster,
which was to become the Summer palace of the future Episcopalian
Ascendancy Archbishops
in
Armagh, and
1614
AD Sir
George Carew
the English appointed President in the
Munster Province told
James 1st
that there were many good English
loyalists among the people in Ireland, but they were united
with the Old - English / Anglo - Irish Catholics and would
"rebel"
The English Ascendancy Government
began enforcing their further
anti
- Catholic Laws in
Ireland and
also their
Irish shipping
ordinances, as there were now only
143
ships operating from out of
Irish ports,
with
100 of them being
only of a
small tonnage.
The town of Clonakilty in Co. Cork in Southern Munster was founded this year by Richard Boyle who had been appointed the first English Earl of Cork, who had arrived previously in Ireland from England, basically penniless 25 years before, and who had become quite rich and was now holding onto a vast number of the confiscated Estates, and because of his growing influence among the Ascendancy would eventually be put in charge of Ireland for the English Crown in 1629 AD.
Sir
Toby Caulfield constructed a
Jacobean Mansion at
Castle Caulfield
in Co.
Tyrone in Central Ulster,and the
region from the town of
Derry
to
Coleraine in
the north - east of the Ulster Province
was
offered to the merchants from the City of London
Companies, but despite this further inducement eventually many of the
English "planters" in
Ireland were
to return to
England.
October -
November:
James 1st
the first
Stuart English King now also came out publically backing the anti
- Catholic Irish persecutors,
Sir
Arthur Chichester
and
Sir
John Davies actions in
gerrymandering the
Anglo - Irish Parliament to maintain an
Ascendancy majority, but
8 of the
Boroughs were
removed for not
having been issued with writs prior to the election,
3 were declared to have
no right
of representation at all, and the decision in
2 of the
Boroughs were reversed due to their
false returns, and the Ascendancy Anglo
- Irish House of Commons was now
reduced to 210 representatives,with a majority of
108
Church of England Ascendancy Episcopalians and
102
Catholic Irish
and
Anglo -
Irish,
but because of the
closeness of the numbers, the
Ascendancy was not so keen
this time to take up the available opportunities to create any more changes against
any of the
Dissenters / Non - Conformists / Recusants
/ Catholics.
Walter Butler became the eleventh English Earl of Ormonde who still had his confiscated Estates in the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Connla Cu Corb Fitz Patick's kingdom of Ossory in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Southern Leinster until 1632 AD, who was a grandson of James Butler the previous ninth English Earl of Ormonde
1615 AD
The Articles for the
Ascendancy's Episcopalian Church of England
were drawn up based on
French Calvinistic
doctrine, which would
later on under
Charles 1st, the son of
James 1st, clash with the fervent ideas of his particular religious
procurator at that time
Bishop
Laud.
The English Ascendancy Episcopalian
"plantations"
in Ireland were now begun in earnest, and
James 1st the
Stuart
King of England reminded all,"
That the removal of the
Irish from their land in
Ireland was the main
reason for them being there,
and there would be further confiscations
against them if they did not carry out his wishes,"
and
Sir
Arthur Chichester
was given permission to also imprison anyone in Ireland
who made
any opposition to
the "plantations"further in
Co. Wexford in the south - east of
Southern Leinster, and this further imposition was also to be carried
out by his successor
Sir
Oliver St. John.
It was only natural now that
the new English Episcopalian
"planters" were to be
terrorized by those
Irish Families and Anglo -
Irish / Old English families who were to be effected by these
ongoing confiscations and "plantation"
of their land.
November:
Sir
Arthur Chichester
was recalled to England
after being in control in Ireland for
10 years as the
appointed English Lord Deputy and was
replaced by
Sir
Oliver St. John who
continued to maintain his
previous repressive actions against the
Catholic
Irish
and the Anglo
- Irish / Old English.
Sir Richard Wingfield who had been granted 26,000 confiscated acres at Bray in Co. Wicklow in the south - east of Southern Leinster by James 1st the Stuart English King, also built a Castle against the Irish Septs on the other land also given to him that had been confiscated from the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain O Niall's fortress up at Benburb in Co. Tyrone in Central Ulster.
