1621 AD Further Episcopalian Church of England Plantations where planned again for Co. Leitrim in Northern Connacht, Co. Laois and Co. Offaly in the north - west of Southern Leinster surrounding The English Pale and Co. Westmeath in the north - west of Northern Leinster as Calvinist Huguenots from France also began arriving into Ireland up until 1641 AD for Plantation to add to the removal of the Irish Septs there. - The Church of England Episcopalian Bishop, Usher was to be installed in Meath in the north - east of Northern Leinster until 1624 AD and had a library containing 10,000 books, which were to eventually end up in the Trinity College in Dublin.

      David Rothe finally set up as the Catholic Bishop of Ossory / Co. Kilkenny in the south west of Southern Leinster for the first time since 1564 AD.

1622 AD Altogether 6 of the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province were by now planted with 13,000 Church of England Episcopalians and Calvinist inspired Presbyterian Scottish Planters, of which one half where English Episcopalians and one half were from the Scottish Lowlands who were Calvinist Presbyterians, with the heaviest concentration in Co. Down and Co. Antrim where there were all up 7,500 Scottish Presbyterians and Church of England Planters. Jones was given three portions each of 2,100 acre grants totalling 6,300 acres provided that he did not let the land, "To any person or persons whatsoever, who were Natives of Ireland, nor to any person or persons that shall not have taken the Oaths of Allegiance and Religious Supremacy to the English Crown." Despite these further Penal provisions once again against the Irish population, the English Ironmongers Corporation had 127 sub - tenants of which all but 9 were Mere Irish. All of the Catholic Irish were also banned from moving into the City of Derry in Co. Derry in the north - east of Ulster were they where already the majority, but were to be allowed in to Belfast in Co. Antrim in the north - east of Ulster where they where the minority. Sir Arthur Chichester and James Hamilton also arranged for re - grants of vast tracks of Irish land around Loch Neagh in Ulster for themselves, and were expected to expel the Mere Irish from there, but were lax in their approach as they naturally depended on them to work all of the vast Irish territories they now held in their own right. 

     Lionel Cranfield the English Earl of Middlesex assured the Duke Of Buckingham in England that Irish revenues could be further increased if they made use of the ward system in regard to the minors, by rearing them as Church of England Episcopalians and use their own discretion as to whether to grant them their estates subject to the conditions they set out being fulfilled and this was to have a further great effect especially on the Old English - Anglo Irish. One of the main minors who were to be effected by this ward system was James Butler the young 12th Earl of Ormonde who was to later become the 1st Duke of Ormonde in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Southern Leinster after taking the "Oath of Religious Supremacy" to retain his land there.

     Sir Oliver St. John / Singen was recalled from Ireland to England and was succeeded by Henry Carey / Lord Falkland who also acquired the position as he too was anti - Catholic and anti - Irish and continued to govern in the same manner as his previous English predecessors did, with much more of the same constant ethnic and religious repression.

1623 AD Charles the Prince of Wales, the son of  James 1st the 1st French Stuart English King, went to Madrid with the English Earl of Buckingham to try and arrange a marriage for Charles himself to the young Catholic daughter of the Spanish King, who was still only an infant who repulsed his advances and they returned to England with a mind set that was ready to go to War at the very first opportunity against Spain and also increase their repression against Catholics in general.   

    Michael and Conaire O Cleary / Ua Cleirigh / cleric who were descendents of 95.Guaire "Aidni" the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn "Southern" Ui Fiachrach 14th King of Connacht together with two of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin O Mulconrys wrote the "Annals of Ulster - of the Four Masters" at Bun Drowes in Co. Donegal in the north - west of the Ulster Province comprising the history of the Irish Septs and their Tuaths / Family regions from 2242 B.C. until 1626 AD, which is now available in 4 Volumes.

      *All Gaelic Irish Names were now banned by the English Crown under James 1st the Stuart English King and had to be anglicized by English Law - for example Cleary was changed to similar sounding or meaning names such as Clarke, O Niall to O Neill, O Brian to O Brien and O Marcachain / O Markahan was changed to Markham as many O's and Mac's were dropped and similar meaning English names such as Rabbitt and Rabbitte were used for Irish epithet names such as Cunneen, Cunneeny, Conheey, Cunnane and Kineen in Co. Galway, Co. Mayo and Co. Offaly, containing the Irish word coinin / rabbit, or Fox in Co. Offaly for Kearney, Mac Ashinah, Shanahy or Shinnock / Shinnagh / fox.

1624 AD January: The English Crown under James 1st the French Stuart English King now also proclaimed once again that all Catholic Irish clergy were to get out of Ireland within 40 days.

     Donough O Brien the English appointed 4th Earl of Thomond had died and his line was now carried on through his son, Brian O Brien and they were now completely English and also marrying English women to improve their personal status further in England and financial positions within the English system of the Church of England Ascendancy. 

    George Calvert who originally had come from Yorkshire in England to Ireland was the English appointed 1st Baron of Ballimore, but he was to become a Catholic and found a settlement at Newfoundland and also tried to establish another in Virginia in America, but unfortunately died.

     The wife, of Donough O Connor from the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin in the Connacht Province who had recently died, erected a monument to him in the Sligo Abbey in Co. Sligo in the north - west of Connacht, which is still there to be seen today.

1625 AD James 1st, the first French Stuart English King, died, and his son Charles 1st became the 2nd French Stuart King of England and with the Duke of Buckingham still as his advisor was really determined to begin hostilities against Spain as soon a possible.

March: Charles 1st the 2nd French Stuart English King desperately wanted to declare War on Spain, but was financially unable to do so without the backing of the English Ascendancy Parliament, which he did not want to bring together in case they gave him any problems.

October: Like his father before Charles 1st the French Stuart English King was to always to be desperate for money and advised Henry Carey / Lord Falkland to stop imposing Recusancy fines on the Catholic Irish to try and increase his popularity in Ireland as he intended to increase his revenues there in another way by obtaining guarantees from them, but this proposal did not proceed due to the protests from those who were in power in the Ascendancy.

      To ensure that Irish Genealogies and Irish History was retained against the constant English "annihilation of all things Irish" many centres were being organized including a Franciscan College by the Anglo - Irish monk, Luke Wadding from Co. Waterford in the south - east of the Munster Province who set one up at St. Isodore's Church in Rome where he was there with the Irish philosopher, Duns Scotus, so the Irish manuscripts, which were still in existence and not in the hands of the English were collected for future generations. He also had his own printing press, which allowed the History of Ireland to be spread back into Ireland and many other Countries, while other Irish History centres existed also at Louvain in France and even in Ireland itself.            

     Liscarroll Castle originally built by the Anglo - Normans around 1280 AD in Co. Cork in Southern Munster was also confiscated this year by Sir Philip Percival, but it is now, like so many others, only a ruin.

    Niall “Garbh” O Donnell, died who was a son of Calvagh O Donnell who had died in 1566 AD and Catherine Mac Lean, and in turn his father was Manus O Donnell  "The O Donnell," a son of Hugh “Dubh” O Donnell who had died in 1537 AD.
