Antrim himself confesses to be a Trustee and therefore we may be sure the King wrote sincerely to him ORMOND THough I am sorry for this Occasion I have to send unto you which is the sudden and unexpected Rebellion of a great and considerable Part of Ireland yet I am glad to have so faithful and able a Servant as you are to whom I may freely and confidently write in so Important a Business This is therefore to desire you to accept that Charge over this which you lately had over the former Army the which though ye may have some Reason to excuse as not being so well acquainted with this Lord-Lieutenant as ye was with the last yet I am confident that my Desire and the Importance of the Business will easily overcome that Difficulty which laid aside for my sake I shall accept as a great renewed Testimony of that Affection which I know ye have to my Service So referring what I have else to say to Captain Weemes Relation I rest Edinb 31 Octob. 1641.

Conclusion had destroyed three of his Objections for if the Irish were in almost continual Rebellions as he says and is true how could he expect they should enjoy Offices sit in Parliaments or have Benefit of the Kings Laws But the weakness of these Objections will yet more plainly appear by the following Answers To the First the Instances are few and it is bad Logick to draw general Consequences from the Actions of two or three particular Men especially such as so bitterly reflect on a Government or Nation besides all these three were Papists and their Sacrilege does not concern the Protestant Government of Ireland which is what Mr. Sullevan design'd to asperse To the Second If this Author had consulted the Ecclesiastical Catalogue he would have found that the Natives had more than their share of Bishopricks and Arch-Bishopricks and that to the ruine of most of the Sees and in the Military List he might have found the Baron of Dungannon Neal Garuff Macguire O Connor and many more who had Pay or Pension and yet it is so far from being criminal to prefer the Colony before the Native to Offices of Trust and Profit in a conquered Country that it is a necessary Duty to do it Ne Victi Victoribus Legem darent at most this Partiality is but in matters of Favour so that there is no wrong and 't is founded on good Law and sound Policy But what would this Objecter and his Companions say if they should see a Popish Governor in Ireland against all Law and Policy to make it criminal to be an Englishman and a cause of deprivation to profess the Religion by Law established To the Third Several of the Irish Potentates did sit in former Parliaments and particularly in the Parliaments of the 8th of Edw. 2. O Hanlon O Neal O Donnel Macgenis O Cahon Mac Mahon and many more Irish Lords were present but since the Parliaments are better regulated 't is true that none are suffered to sit in the House of Lords but such as are Lords of Parliament by Law viz. by Writ or Patent but 't is as true that the principal men of the Irish have or had Titles that qualifie them to sit there as O Neal Earl of Tyrone O Donel Earl of Tyrconnel O Bryan Earl of Thomond Mac Carthy Earl of Clancarthy O Bryan Earl of Insiquin The Lords Macguire Clare Glanmalira and Dungannon Kavenagh Baron of Balion O Carol Baron of Ely and many more To the Fourth Since the Irish would not admit their Countries to be made Shire-Ground nor suffer Sheriffs to exercise any Authority in them so that they were not amesnable to the Kings Laws but were governed by their own Brehon Laws so that the English could have no Justice against them nor could the King punish Murder without sending an Army to do it there was no reason they should have the Benefit of that Law they would not submit to And this I take to be the true Reason why it was denied them Davis 6. 'T is true they often Petitioned for the Liberty to be Plaintiffs but they would not at the same time put themselves in a condition to be Defendants nor come within the Jurisdiction of the Kings Courts but by starts and for their benefit and therefore assoon as the Kingdom was throughly subdued and reduced into Shires so that the Kings Writ did run throughout the Realm the Irish had also an equal Benefit of the Law and were received into the Condition of Subjects So that this Objection has been long since quite taken away As to the Fifth They were not so ignorant but that they knew the necessity of leaving a Tenure in the King besides there was some small Reservation or Crown-Rent reserv'd by Contract or Agreement in every Patent and therefore they did not expect it as free as they surrendred it however they got well enough by the bargain for in lieu of a precarious Estate for Life at most they got legal Titles of Inheritance by the Kings Grants and certainly they had little reason to complain whilst as our Author confesses they enjoy'd both the Profits and the Possession But let us return to King Henry the Second who found work enough in France and was advised by his Mother Maud the Empress and others at a great Council held on that occasion Speed at Winchester to postpone his Irish Designs until he could meet with a more favourable opportunity which not long after hapned For Dermond Mac Murrough King of Leinster Regan having forced O Neale O Mlaghalin and O Caroll to give him Hostages grew so insolent at these successes that he became oppressive to his Subjects and injurious to his Neighbours more especially by the Rape of the Wife of Orourk King of Brehny 1167. who was Daughter of O Mlaghlin King of Meath Stanihurst whereupon he was invaded by his Enemies Cambrensis and abandoned by his Subjects and Tributaries particularly by Morough O Borne Hasculphus Mac Turkil Governor of Dublin and Daniel Prince of Ossory and after many Disasters 1168. was forced to quit his Country and betake himself to the King of England for Assistance He was accompanied by his Trusty Servant Auliff O Kinade and sixty others and safely arrived at Bristol where he was generously entertain'd at S. Austin's Abbey by Robert Fitzharding Regan M. S. and so having refresh'd himself and Servants he went forward on his Voyage to Aquitain where the King then resided He appeared before the King in a most shabby Habit 1169. says Friar Clin Stanihurst 6● suitable to the wretched condition of an Exile He fell at his Majesties feet and emphatically bewail'd his own Miseries and Misfortunes He represented the Malice of his Neighbours and the Treachery of his pretended Friends and the Rebellion of his Subjects in proper and lively Expressions he suggested that Kings were then most like Gods when they exercised themselves in succouring the Distressed and that the Fame of King Henry's Magnificence and Generosity had induced him to that Address for his Majesties Protection Assistance But the King being engaged in France could not aid him personally however being mov'd with Dermond's cunning Speeches submissive Deportment Hooker 1. he pitied his Misfortunes entertain'd him kindly and gave him some Presents and then took his Oath of Allegiance and gave him the following Patent HEnry Stainhurst 66. King of England Duke of Normandy and Aquitain Earl of Anjou c. Vnto all his Subjects English Normans Welsh and Scots and to all Nations and People being his Subjects Greeting Whereas Dermond Prince of Leinster most wrongfully as he informeth banished out of his one Country hath craved our Aid Therefore for asmuch as we have received him into our Protection Grace and Favour whosoever within our Realm subject to our Commands will Aid and Help him whom we have embraced as our Trusty Friend for the Recovery of his Land let him be

assured of Our Favour and License in that behalf Dermond full of Hopes passed through England to Bristol where he caused the Kings Letters to be publickly and frequently read and he likewise published his own Overtures of great Entertainment to such as would assist him but his chief Dependance was upon Richard Earl of Chepstow commonly call'd Strongbow who Covenanted to aid him the next Spring with a good Force if he could obtain the Kings particular Leave to do so for which he was to have Dermond's only Daughter Eva and to succeed in the Kingdom of Leinster From Bristol Dermond went to St. Davids in Wales where he prevailed with Rhees Prince of that Country to enlarge Robert Fitz Stephens who was then in Prison and the Bishop of S. Davids perswaded the aforesaid Fitz-Stephens and Maurice Fitz-Girald to engage in Dermond's Quarrel for which the Irish Prince was to give them in Fee Wexford and two Cantreds adjoyning But Dermond impatient of longer absence from his own Country and to prepare for the reception of his Auxiliaries sailed to Ireland in August and Landed at Glascarrig 1169. and thence went to Fernes where he was kindly received by the Clergy to whom he made great ostentation of the Valour Number and Bravery of his new Confederates however he thought fit to remain with them private and as it were incognito that Winter In the mean time he sent his trusty Servant Maurice Regan in the Nature of an Embassadour to sollicite and hasten the English Assistance and to promise Lands to such of the Adventurers as would stay in Ireland and good Rewards in Mony or Cattle to them that designed to return But the English were mindful of their Engagements and Promise and in pursuance of them Robert Fitz-Stephens arrived at the Ban 1170. a small Creek in the County of Wexford about the Calends of May together with thirty Gentlemen sixty Men in Jacks and three hundred choice Archers and Pike-Men in three Ships And the next came Maurice of Prendergast ten Gentlemen and a number of Archers in two Barques As also Hervy of Mountmaurice whom Strongbow sent as his Agent to be informed of the true state of the Country They immediately send Notice of their Arrival which being known gave Dermond so great Reputation that his revolted Subjects flockt to him with such celerity and in such numbers as manifested their Levity and that they were too much inclined to court a prevailing Power That Night the English incamped by the Sea-side Regan and the next Day marched towards Wexford where they were met by Daniel Dermonds Natural Son and five hundred Men and soon after came Dermond himself and renewed the Leagues and Covenants between him and the English Stainhurst 71. and thereupon both Armies joyn and march friendly to Wexford Two thousand of the Wexfordians boldly make a Sally Giraldus Cambrensis but when they perceived the Armour Barbed Horses and other war-like Furniture of the English and such an Appearance as they had never seen before they were frighted therewith and easily persuaded to retire nevertheless they burnt their Suburbs and the adjacent Villages and manfully betook themselves to defend their Walls They also briskly repulsed Fitz Stephens his first Attack and killed eighteen of his Men whereupon the English were enraged and being resolved either to conquer or dye they first burnt their Ships and then made Publick Prayers in the Camp and prepared for a Second Assault but by the Mediation of some Bishops that was prevented and the fourth Day of the Siege the Town was surrendred on Articles and together with two Cantreds adjoyning was given to Fitz-Stephens and Fitz-Girald according to the former Agreement And to oblige the Earl of Chepstow Dermond bestowed two Cantreds situate between Wexford and Waterford on Henry of Mountmaurice and those three setled the first Colony of British on these Lands which have continued through-all the Changes since to this Day But the King of Leinster was overjoyed at this Success and to express his Gratitude to the English Adventurers he marched to Fernes to caress them where they staid three Weeks Regan M. S. and spent their Time in Feasting and Jollity Dermond did not fail to applaud their Valour and tell them how much they were dreaded by the Irish and then he proposed to them an Expedition into Ossory to which they readily consented The Army consisting of three thousand Irish besides the English in pursuance of the former Resolution invaded Vpper Ossory That Prince was Dermonds bitterest Enemy and had formerly imprisoned Dermond's Son and being jealous of him had put out both his Eyes by means whereof he dyed That Country being full of Woods and Bogs Stainhurst 79. might easily have been defended and the Prince of Ossory prepared to do so but Fitz-Stephens counterfeited a Flight and by that Stratagem drew out the Ossorians to pursue him and when he had got them on the Plain he charged them with his Horse to purpose and routed them with the Slaughter of above three hundred Men Lib.

P. the Prince of Ossory was forced to Submit swear Fealty and give Hostages to the King of Leinster But Mr. Regan not allowing of this Submission tells us of a second Expedition into Ossory and that after the Wexford Men were three times repulsed the English forced the Trenches beat the Ossorians and burnt the Country and Maurice de Prendergast being disgusted with Dermond resolved to return to England but being stopt at Wexford he took part with the Prince of Ossory but finding that Prince designed to murder him in stead of giving him his promised Pay he got rid of him by a Stratagem and returned to England and afterward came over again with Strongbow But however that be 't is more certain That the Army being refreshed invaded burnt and prey'd the Country of O Phelan and afterwards O Tools Country up to Glandelogh and met with small or no Resistance In the mean time Rotherick the Monarch of Ireland was alarm'd at the Advent and Success of the English and therefore he summon'd a General Parliament or Assembly of all the Princes of the Country they quickly resolved to attack the King of Leinster and to expel the Strangers and in order to put their Votes in execution they united their Forces and invaded O Kensile a Territory in Leinster Dermond finding himself unable to resist this mighty Force and the rather because he perceived his Subjects began to stagger in their Loyalty Stainhurst 82. which it seems was calculated for his Good Fortune only applyed himself to Fitz-Stephens and nakedly represented the Case to him and told him That unless he stuck firmly to him
