EDITION LIMITED TO TWO HUNDRED COPIES, OF WHICH THIS IS N. PREFACE. The organization and acts of the Confederation established by a large body of the nobility, clergy, and people of Ireland, in the reign of Charles I., form an important and, as yet, but little known part of the history of the British Empire. The main objects of the Confederates, according to their own statements, were, to defend themselves against attacks from the Puritans, to maintain the prerogatives of the Crown, as well as the privileges and rights of the Irish Parliament; to reinstate the Eoman Catholic Church throughout Ireland, as it stood in the reign of Henry the Seventh, and to annul all penal laws against its members. Declaring by public oath their allegiance to the King, but resisting the authority of the English Parliament, the Confederates, through their Supreme Council, organized forces, nominated commanders and officials, collected the public revenue, levied taxes, minted coin, treated with foreign powers, and governed a considerable part of Ireland. The administration thus established was long maintained by the Confederates, in opposition to the Government at Dublin and its army, which were aided by the English and Scotch settlers in Ireland, and those associated with them, as well as by large military and naval forces from England and Scotland. The operations of the Confederation were productive of grave national results, and contributed to influence subsequent relations between Great Britain and Ireland. Little reliance can be placed on statements in reference to the Confederation which occasionally appeared in the ephemeral publications of its own day, issued under hostile Governmental censorship at London. Hitherto no attempt has been made to collect...

Assembly, there will be many found that will esteem Peace with your Majestie and the titles of good subjects, very good steps to their advancement from the state they are in at the present. Your Majestie's of the 9th of January1 remains only to be answered. And of that, (as I humbly conceive) but those parts commanding me to conclude a further Cessation for a year, if Peace cannot be had, and to press the Irish to send supplies to your Majestie and to their friends in Scotland. In the first I have sounded them, and believe it will be possible to gaine their assent; but from thence I doubt many inconveniences must inevitably follow, unless your Majestie be in condition out of England to support the charge of your army here, (whereof I presume to make no judgment) or that the Irish would do it, which I cannot hope to perswade them to promise, nor your army to believe, if they should. A Cessation for any longer time than may be in order to a PeaceJ would give general discontent to your army and all your Protestant subjects, as well the Clergy as others, who being in the greatest extremity of want that can be imagined, and by a Cessation put out of hope to receive pay, or possess their estates and livings for so long time, would 'as is much to be feared) attempt to deliver these garrisons, and those few that no extremity can force from their loyalty, into the English or Scots Eebels' hands; or at the least they would revolt to them, in hope to gain part, as well of what comes from London, as of booty from the Irish, leaving these places despicably weak, and so an easy conquest for the Scots or Irish, as either party shall be at leisure to make it their business. Nor can your Majestie by a Cessation expect any considerable succour from hence, ..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates the Confederate Catholic war effort from the preceeding phase of localized insurgency, through the formation of a national self-government in 1642, until the Confederate Catholic regime was finally subsumed in a broad pan-Royalist alliance in 1649. While this alliance held out the prospect of significant religious and constitutional concessons this achievement was nullified by the subsequent Cromwellian catastrophe: the Confederate regime failed. In attributing this failure to political factionalism, historians have neglected the potential and limitations of the Confederate war effort. This study does not substitute crude military determinism but acknowledges that political indecision and strategic incoherence inhibited the war effort at critical junctures. From the conflicting political priorities of Confederates two partially exclusive military strategies, insular, and expeditionary, can be identified. Both strategies were proactive and so demanded standing armies rather than local militia units. This book emphasizes the crucial importance of the tax gathering apparatus in fueling the incremental growth of standing armies. In the absence of large scale foreign patronage, exacting money from an agrarian economy, rather than the shortages of material, or still less, manpower representing the crucial extrinsic limit to Confederate military potential. Given these limits, it was a considerable achievement to contain two British interventions (in 1642 and 1646/7 respectively). The influence of the contemporaneous "military revolution" on the European mainland was mediated by the cadre of returned mercenary officers. Consequently, the Confederates developed a qualitative edge in fortification and siegecraft. The application of the continental model and the shift from putatively "celtic" or irregular tactics of raiding and running battles would be more problematic. This and other explanations for the poor battlefield performance of the Confederate armies are discussed.

Download or read book Soldiers and Strangers written by Mark Stoyle and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War fought between Charles I and his Parliament is one of the most momentous conflicts in English history. This book provides a wholly new perspective by revealing the extent to which the struggle possessed an "ethnic" dimension, and the impact of that on the forging of English national identity. Stoyle reveals the acute fear of foreign invasion that gripped England after 1640, when the insular English were placed on the brink of what they perceived as a national emergency. Stoyle sets the creation of the New Model Army within that context, arguing that its appearance represented the culmination of a campaign by Oliver Cromwell and others to forge a purely "English" military instrument, one purged of the foreign solders who had been so prominent in earlier Parliamentarian armies. This self-consciously "English" army eventually succeeded in wresting back control of the kingdom by defeating the king's forces, re-conquering Cornwall and Wales, and expelling all foreign agents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The English Civil War is a joy to behold, a thing of beauty... this will be the civil war atlas against which all others will judged and the battle maps in particular will quickly become the benchmark for all future civil war maps.' -- Professor Martyn Bennett, Department of History, Languages and Global Studies, Nottingham Trent University The English Civil Wars (1638–51) comprised the deadliest conflict ever fought on British soil, in which brother took up arms against brother, father fought against son, and towns, cities and villages fortified themselves in the cause of Royalists or Parliamentarians. Although much historical attention has focused on the events in England and the key battles of Edgehill, Marston Moor and Naseby, this was a conflict that engulfed the entirety of the Three Kingdoms and led to a trial and execution that profoundly shaped the British monarchy and Parliament. This beautifully presented atlas tells the whole story of Britain's revolutionary civil war, from the earliest skirmishes of the Bishops' Wars in 1639–40 through to 1651, when Charles II's defeat at Worcester crushed the Royalist cause, leading to a decade of Stuart exile. Each map is supported by a detailed text, providing a complete explanation of the complex and fluctuating conflict that ultimately meant that the Crown would always be answerable to Parliament.
Download or read book Highlanders written by James MacKillop and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebellion was recurrent in the Highlands because the Gaels (Scoti) were an often-oppressed indigenous minority in the nation, Scotland, to which they gave their name. They spoke a language, Gaelic, few outsiders would learn, and had their own family and social system, the clans. Warfare was bloody, culminating in the catastrophe of Culloden Moor during the doomed quest to restore the Stuart kingship to all of Britain. Economic hardship, including the near-genocidal Clearances, in which tenant farmers were replaced with sheep, drove the Gaels from the glens and islands, so that most today live in the diaspora, including millions in North America. Although the Gaels lack a single genetic identity, they clearly draw from distinct roots in the Irish, Norse and Picts. Despite their hardship, the Gaels are also presented in romantic portrayals by the artistic elite of other nations. This book offers ways in which the reader might find roots and ancestry in unfamiliar terrain. Chapters discuss the landscape and language of the Highlanders, the rise of clans, feuds and invasions, and eventual emigration.
