1626 AD -
1630 AD 1626 AD Now fearing an invasion by Spain was still possible, Charles 1st the French Stuart King of England instructed Henry Carey / Lord Falkland in Ireland to negotiate with the Catholic Irish to allow them some concessions, which were to become known as the "51 Graces," that would be granted to the Catholic Irish in return for financial support for Charles 1st. It was not to be very successful as Lord Falkland's heart was not in it as he had previously been given the position in Ireland by Charles 1st's father, the bigoted James 1st to carry out his particular agenda as a hard - line Calvinist Episcopalian. The Quin Abbey in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province was reoccupied by the Franciscan friars under the authority of Fr. Francis Matthew their Provincial leader in Ireland and Fr. Teige / Bonaventure Mac Gorman was put in charge. This year the Old Hall was built on the site of the O Rourke's Breifne Castle on the River Bonet at Dromahair in Co. Leitrim in Northern Connacht. - Lord Dunboyne rebuilt the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid U Turlough Ui mBriain Holy Cross Abbey in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province.
1627 AD
The English
Ascendancy Parliament, now
under Charles 1st
the French Stuart King of England, passed an
Act,
"That Catholics were not to
be allowed into Office." On the
other hand they now agreed to
the non - Catholic Planters
in Ireland
defaulting on James 1st's original decree of "no Catholics being allowed to work
Irish land." They now gave them
permission to use
Native Irish
tenants to work their
previously Confiscated land as they once again began to further
increase
the English non - Catholic Plantations
in Ireland.
2,000 more
Church of England non - Catholic Planters
were put into the
Ulster
Province
with further threats of expulsion for, "Anyone
who did not conform to
the Church of England and English habits."
To this end,
Charles
1st
granted the English
appointed Viscount
Conway the
region of
Lisburn in
Co. Antrim
in the north - east of the Ulster Province where he built a
castle
against the surrounding Irish Septs there.
April:
Henry Carey
/ Lord Falkland the previously determined anti - Catholic
who was now acting for James 1st's son, Charles 1st finally had to allow the
Catholic Irish
delegates the right to go to
England to deal directly with
Charles 1st himself who
was more then ready to make an
agreement for financial considerations.
Thomas Walsh the
Archbishop of
Cashel also wrote a
History of Ireland
this year.
1628 AD
May:
The Catholic Irish made an agreement with
Charles 1st the
French Stuart English King whereby the
Catholic
Irish
would make 3
annual
payments of
40,000 pounds to him
in
return for the
51 Graces, most of which the
English Church of England Episcopalians already took as part of their common rights, and he advised
the delegates that a
Parliament would be called to
confirm them in English Law. Included in these
51 Graces was be only an
Oath of
Allegiance, instead of the one of
Religious Supremacy, that had been imposed on the
Catholic Irish, which
further upset the Ascendancy in the Church of England
in Ireland who now
although small in numbers owned
1/4
of all
Irish land.
They would also be
subject to their share of the annual payment besides giving in to the
Catholic Irish on
religious grounds, while the
particular Grace
to remit the Recusancy
Fines
for not attending Episcopalian services
was left out of the final draft. Subsequent to this
the election for the Parliament was not held and
the Graces were
not confirmed
as he had promised.
During this period there was a
lack of corn to feed the population in
Ireland and many
Irish and Anglo - Irish crossed over to the west of
England
and into
Wales were
they upset the English
populations there while trying to
gain employment to survive.
The region of Newtown Stewart in Co. Tyrone in Central Southern Ulster passed to Sir William Stewart. August: James 1st's original and Charles 1st's subsequent advisor, the Duke of Buckingham, was assassinated !!
Thomas
"Black Tom" Wentworth
- the English Viscount Wentworth
was at this time appointed the Governor
of Northern England by
Charles 1st after
he had changed sides against his fellow M.P.'s among the
English Puritan Parliamentarians and joined up with
Charles 1st and was to
carry Charles 1st's passion further for raising
revenues by terrible further repression, also into
Ireland later on.
1629 AD
Henry Carey / Viscount Falkland
the appointed English Lord Deputy in
Ireland
quarrelled with
Adam Loftus the
Lord Chancellor and tried to
also confiscate the lands of the
Ui Dunlainge
O Byrnes
in
Co. Wicklow
in the south - east of
Southern
Leinster
so that he could introduce more non - Catholic
English Planters there, which was to bring him into further conflict in both
England and
Ireland. He also
pursued the
Irish Catholic religious Orders and
revived threats to many
property
Titles in Ireland to obtain his ends and after
he went as far as arresting the
Catholic friars in
Dublin
there was great rioting carried out by the population
there.
October: With the
Duke of Buckingham now gone off
of the scene, Henry Carey
/ Lord Falkland had
lost his strongest ally in the
English Court and was removed as the
appointed English
Lord Deputy in
Ireland and
was not replaced.
Adam Loftus
the English Viscount Loftus the
Anglo - Irish
Chancellor, who was
the nephew of the Church of
England
Archbishop of Dublin,
and
Richard Boyle the
English 1st Earl of Cork were
now appointed as English Lord Justices to
control
Ireland for Charles
1st.
When it was apparent that they did no see eye to eye Lord Wilmot
the English appointed President in
the
Connacht Province
was created the English
Commander - in - Chief and he was able to get them together for a
reconciliation meeting.
Meanwhile Richard Boyle
who was strongly
anti - Catholic was to
suppress all of the Irish
Catholics religious gatherings including their
Mass houses in their own private homes
they were to individually set up
to conduct Sunday Mass.
April:
England
now
under Charles 1st the French Stuart King concluded a
Peace settlement
with France.
1630 AD Father Geoffrey Keating the parish priest of Tubrid near
Clonmel
in
Co. Tipperary
in the north - east of the
Munster Province while in hiding from the English
appointed President in Munster
was able to begin to compile a
History of Ireland from the
earliest times to the Anglo - Norman Invasion in 1170 AD, into the
Gaelic language.
Charles 1st's agent
in Ireland,
Sir Thomas Phillips complained
that the English City Companies were
allowing the Catholic Irish to stay in
the City of
Derry
in Co. Derry in the north - east of the
Ulster Province for their own financial
gain, which went against the original express purpose of his father, James 1st for
the non - Catholic English Plantations
there, which was the
removal
of all the Irish Septs totally from the scene.
English non - Catholic Plantations
now also began in
Co. Tipperary in the north - east
of the
Munster Province on
the Estates there under the control of
James Butler the
12th English Earl of Ormonde, and
also in the
Connacht Province.
Richard Boyle
the English 1st Earl of Cork was now in
joint control of
Ireland and was
finding that it was not as easy as it looked, as he was to
come out and
describe the Scottish
Presbyterians who
now
basically controlled the
Ulster
Province, "As a rude and remote kingdom, of austere, exalted, unbending, cantankerous
people, prone to hysteria and conspiracy theories, committed to a democracy that
extended to the elect alone." He was also to be hampered by
Francis Annesley
/
Lord Mountnorris the English appointed Vice
- Treasurer in
Ireland
November: England, under Charles 1st the French Stuart King, finally concluded a Peace settlement also with Spain.
