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. -

Abstract This thesis explores the responses of different groups within the English Catholic community to the civil war, interregnum and restoration, with close attention to Catholic political theory. The English Catholic community were not mere observers of the constitutional and religious changes made during this period but manoeuvred within shifting political frameworks, continually adjusting their politics to meet new requirements. After the defeat and the execution of Charles I, members of the community made a series of compromises with political parties to secure toleration. Until the Restoration these were almost all to the exclusion of the Stuarts. Catholic political theorists engaged with the pro-sectarian, tolerationist principles of the parliamentary Independents during the first part of the Interregnum, but after the failure of the Cromwellian Church settlement in 1655 began to interact with anti-sectarian pro- episcopal groups during the decline of the Protectorate. -
Luke Wadding and Irish Diplomatic Activity in Seventeenth-Century Rome
Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies, n. 6 (2016), pp. 193-203 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.13128/SIJIS-2239-3978-18462 Luke Wadding and Irish Diplomatic Activity in Seventeenth-Century Rome Matteo Binasco CUSHWA Center for the Study of American Catholicism, Rome Global Gateway, University of Notre Dame (<[email protected]>) Abstract: The aim of this article is to provide a new assessment of the diplo- matic role played by the most prominent Irishman in seventeenth- century Rome: the Franciscan Luke Wadding. Hitherto, the available analyses on Wadding have focused on his literary and theological activity, with the consequence that, with the exception of one old essay, the ‘diplomatic’ role he played for the Irish Confederates dur- ing the years from 1641 to 1649 has been neglected. Indeed, during this crucial period, he acted as the agent of the Irish Confederates at the papal curia, thus strengthening his role as the most influential Irishman in Rome. The article will illustrate how this appointment placed Wadding under growing pressure from Ireland, and how this led him to play a seminal role in shaping or influencing the decisions taken by the Holy See concerning his country. Keywords: Diplomacy, Ireland, Irish Confederates, Rome, Wadding 1. The Beginning of Wadding’s ‘Diplomatic’ Role In his book The Old English in Ireland, Aidan Clarke asserted that Luke Wadding’s capacity to understand the events in Ireland during the first half of the seventeenth century must have been limited because he left the coun- try at an early age never to return (Clarke 2000, 24). -
Warren Family
A HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE WARREN FAMILY IN NORMANDY, GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, FRANCE, HOLLAND, TUSCANY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ETc. (A.D. 912-1902) WITH NUMEROUS PEDIGREES BY REV. THOMAS WARREN F. R. S. A. IRELAND "Those who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future, do not perform their duty to the world."-DANIEL WEBSTER PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION £All riglzts reserved] A HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE WARREN FAMILY To THE ~IEMBERS OF THE VARIO US BRANCHES OF THE ANCIENT AND NOBLE FAMILY OF WARREN AND THOSE RELATED TO THEM BY THE COMPILER THOMAS WAR REN PREFACE SOME years ago, having retired from professional duties owing to failing health, I began to trace my own family pedigree, without any intention of writing a book; but finding the study of Genealogy so fascinating, I was led to extend my researches to other branches of the old and honoured name of Warren. The materials I have collected, after long and arduous labour, are considered by friends to be worthy of record as well as useful and interesting, not only to those of the name and kindred now living, but important as a basis to work from for others who may afterwards wish to enter upon this field of research and add to the information already acquired. Hence the volume now submitted to my readers. In this work, which has been to me a labour of love, I have received much sympathy and valuable assistance from members of this great and widely-dispersed family, to whom I return my grateful thanks. -

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY LIST I: HI 3414 FROM REBELLION TO RESTORATION: WAR, POLITICS AND SOCIETY IN CONFEDERATE AND CROMWELLIAN IRELAND Dr Micheál Ó Siochrú LIST I: FROM REBELLION TO RESTORATION: WAR, POLITICS AND SOCIETY IN CONFEDERATE AND CROMWELLIAN IRELAND Dr Micheál Ó Siochrú Wednesday 10-11am: Room 5039 Thursday 1-3pm: Room 5052 [1-2pm] Room 3069 [2-3pm] Introduction: This course attempts to untangle one of the most complex periods of Irish history: the 1640s and 1650s. It will analyse the origins, course and impact of the 1641 rebellion and the subsequent fragmentation of Ireland into three political/military groupings (the Catholic Confederates, the Royalists and the Parliamentarians). It will also focus on the English conquest (after 1649) and Cromwellian rule during the 1650s. The first half of the course focuses on key political and military developments, from the formation of the Confederation of Kilkenny in 1642 to Oliver Cromwell’s dramatic intervention in Irish affairs seven years later. The second half of the course takes a more thematic approach. These themes include the conduct of warfare, the domestic sphere during conflict, foreign intervention, Anglicisation and colonization, massacres and atrocities, transplantation and migration. What impact did a decade of bitter and bloody warfare have on the country’s economic development, the physical landscape and Irish society? How did the political, social, economic and cultural initiatives of the Cromwellians shape Irish history? This investigation of Irish history from 1641 until 1660 is set in the wider context of the ‘Three Stuart Kingdoms’, developments in continental Europe and the wider Atlantic World. -

During the intervening period I have had occasion to discuss the question of mid-seventeenth-century Irish colonization of Ukraine with Frank Sysyn, who traces part of his ances- try back to Ireland. In one of our conversations he noted a mention of such colonization plans in an anonymous Polish political tract of the pe- riod. Since new sources on this subject have come into my hands only occasionally, in the course of research on larger projects, it has taken considerable time to accumulate enough material to warrant a re-exam- ination of my earlier conclusions.
