In fact, they come to a number which is too large to be reasonably dealt with here. Some people are going to be unjustifiably left out, and I only hope that they can forgive me. I am confident they will, however, because I have prior experience of how generous they can be. Let me begin by thanking my thesis supervisor, Professor Laurence Fontaine. Every time I came out of her office I was somewhat annoyed by her criticisms of my work. One day later, having thought about what she had said, I realised that I was fortunate to be working with her. After that, I can only say that any failings in this work are completely my own. No blame can or should be attached to her. If, on the other hand, there are praiseworthy elements in this thesis then they will undoubtedly bear her stamp. There are also others whose help must be acknowledged. My former supervisor from Galway, Professor Nicholas Canny, has likewise continued to be a pillar of support. Doctor Padraig Lenihan is another person whose assistance and friendship has proven to be invaluable and I am only too delighted to take the opportunity to thank him. These words of praise can also be extended to cover all of the academic staff at the EUI. Thanks should also be given to those who paid for my time in Florence. Their financial contribution gave me an invaluable life-enriching experience. Aside from the established academics I am fortunate to know, there have been fellow researchers in the EUI that have enriched my studies by sharing their expertise with me. I will single out three here for special mention in the hope that they will be allowed to stand for all the others as well; they are Sakari Saaritsa, Arnout Mertens and Balazs Apor. The latter character can also be described as a reasonably prominent actor in my social life while in Florence. He was not the only one. Euan MacDonald, Lorenzo Zucca, Srdjan Cvijic, Joe Corkin, Stefan Imhof, Andrew Glencross, Simon Boucher and everyone else who ever donned a jersey with the EUI soccer team or drank a beer in Bar Fiasco ( I think Euan and Balazs may have drank at least one there) have helped me pass what would have otherwise been wasted hours pleasurably. They have been ably aided and abetted in entertaining me (in my more megalomaniac moments I have imagined that this was their sole function in life) by many others. Fabian, Guido, Massimo, Clemens, iv CRONIN, John Jeremiah (2007), The Irish Royalist Elite of Charles II In Exile, C. 1649-1660 European University Institute DOI: 10.2870/10360 Eva, Dragana, Mehreen, Maria, Chris, Fadi and Sarah-Jane are names that spring to mind in this regard. Jesse Scott and Jennifer Hendry should be remembered here as well, and hopefully always will be. Others too, who are unfortunately unnamed here, can similarly take a bow. I ask all of them, be they named or unnamed, to remember that I am aging and I grow increasingly senile (and grumpy) every day. So, once again, please forgive me if I do not pay you all the respect that is due to you. Having paid tribute to my friends, permit me to acknowledge the contribution of my family. Maureen, Patrick and Samantha (my Mother, my Father and my sister) have always been pillars and their constant encouragement has always been appreciated. Other family members as well, particularly my brother-in-law David McGettrick and my nieces, Sasha and Tara were also generous to a fault and I thank them unreservedly. Finally, I shall finish up with a special word of praise for Evelyn. God knows how and why she has put up with me for the last number of years, but I am grateful that she has. Her companionship, love and encouragement (which, I hasten to add, took many forms and some of these forms did severe damage to my ear at times, but I know that it deserved it) have been a great gift to me. I look forward to enjoying them for many more years to come. v CRONIN, John Jeremiah (2007), The Irish Royalist Elite of Charles II In Exile, C. 1649-1660 European University Institute DOI: 10.2870/10360 Introduction & Section One I CRONIN, John Jeremiah (2007), The Irish Royalist Elite of Charles II In Exile, C. 1649-1660 European University Institute DOI: 10.2870/10360 Introduction This thesis on Irish elite exiles in Continental Europe, from c.1649-1660 will be a study of those politically, militarily, and socially influential Irish royalists, who are described as Ormondist in the existing historiography and who, in the wake of the victory of English Parliamentary forces in the civil wars of England, Scotland and Ireland of the 1640s and early 1650s, chose to follow the Court of the Stuart claimant to the thrones of those three kingdoms, Charles II, into exile on the Continent. The purpose of this thesis is to establish and advance a number of solutions to a particular set of questions. Principally, it will be concerned with assessing the extent of the impact that the exile had, if any, upon their lives. The thesis will examine what the particular problems that exile posed for this body of émigrés were and it will seek to look at how they attempted to deal with the difficulties that their predicament during these years forced upon them. As part of this, it will seek to resolve how being removed from patrimonies and their traditional zones of influence affected the way they handled their own personal concerns and interests, as well how it impacted upon the way they behaved in those other spheres of activity which were traditionally dominated by such an elite; namely governance and administration, court society and diplomacy. Aside from this, this work will also attempt to ascertain why exactly they ultimately chose exile in the first place and why they chose to use exile as a political and survival strategy. It is hoped to achieve a number of goals through the analysis of this group. As part of achieving these objectives, it is my intention to further illuminate the experience of Irish migrants on Continental Europe in the Early Modern period through the detailed examination of a relatively tightly knit, politically active and yet religiously diverse group of persons, who were also generally of high social status, had close associations with a royal Court and were comparatively cohesive in terms of their outlook on the political and military events of the 1640s. In other words, this assemblage of persons was in many ways different from those other Irish on the Continent at the time and will provide an interesting comparison with their Early Modern compatriots.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

  • Documents from the Thomond Papers at Petworth House Archive1 [With Index]
    Luke McInerney Documents from the Thomond Papers at Petworth House Archive1 [with index] The Petworth House Archive (PHA) is an important and under-exploited repository for research into seventeenth and eighteenth-century Co. Clare. Petworth House, the historic seat of the earls of Egremont, holds primary source material relating to the estates of the earls of Thomond in North Munster, chiefly for Co. Clare but also Co. Limerick and Co. Tipperary. The material preserved at Petworth contains a range of material includ- ing estate management documentation, correspondence, accounts, legal papers, military, parliamentary papers, family history, maps and surveys.2 Only a small proportion of the tens of thousands of documents in the archive relate to the earls of Thomond’s Irish estates and the surviving ‘Thomond papers’ probably represent only a fraction of the original col- lection, loss and damage having taken its toll. Not all of the Thomond material is listed in the current Petworth catalogue; a large portion of the material is still available only in an unpublished early nineteenth-century manuscript catalogue. For historians of Gaelic Ireland the Thomond papers are notewor- thy as they contain detail on landholding at different social levels; key legal instruments such as inquisitions post mortem of Connor O’Brien (1581) third earl of Thomond, and Donough O’Brien (1624) fourth earl of Thomond, are preserved in the archive, along with petitions and leases of Gaelic freeholders. Freeholders of sept-lineages petitioned for restoration of their lands as they were increasingly disenfranchised in the new land- holding matrix of seventeenth century Co.

  • The Politics of Catholic Versus Protestant and Understandings of Personal Affairs in Restoration Ireland
    Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies, n. 5 (2015), pp. 171-181 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.13128/SIJIS-2239-3978-16344 The Politics of Catholic versus Protestant and Understandings of Personal Affairs in Restoration Ireland Danielle McCormack Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań (<[email protected]>) Abstract: Between 1641 and 1652, Ireland was ravaged by war and monarchy was replaced by the Cromwellian Commonwealth and Protector- ate regimes. The armies of Oliver Cromwell conquered Ireland and Catholic landowners were dispossessed and transplanted. The res- toration of the Stuarts in 1660 opened up the prospect that these changes might be undone. Catholics set the tone for debate in the 1660s, challenging Protestant dominance. Catholic assertiveness led to panic throughout the Protestant colonies, and the interpretation of domestic strife and personal tragedy in the context of competition between Catholic and Protestant. This article will recreate the climate of mistrust which obtained within the community before moving to a unique analysis of the impact which this could have on the family. Keywords: Early modern Ireland, marriage, political history, sectari- anism, Stuart restoration On 29 May 1660, the Stuart monarchy was officially restored in Ireland, Scotland and England, following eleven years of Interregnum. Throughout the Interregnum, the monarch, Charles II, who had been crowned king of the three kingdoms by the Scots in 1649, had been in exile on the European con- tinent. Officially, the Stuart restoration marked a return to the status quo ante and the obliteration of the constitutional changes that had been wrought dur- ing the 1650s by the Cromwellian Commonwealth and Protectorate regimes.
