  • Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper the Plantation
    Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper The Plantation of Ulster and the creation of the county of Londonderry On the 28th January 1610 articles of agreement were signed between the City of London and James I, king of England and Scotland, for the colonisation of an area in the province of Ulster which was to become the county of Londonderry. This agreement modified the original plan for the Plantation of Ulster which had been drawn up in 1609. The area now to be allocated to the City of London included the then county of Coleraine,1 the barony of Loughinsholin in the then county of Tyrone, the existing town at Derry2 with adjacent land in county Donegal, and a portion of land on the county Antrim side of the Bann surrounding the existing town at Coleraine. The Londoners did not receive their formal grant from the Crown until 1613 when the new county was given the name Londonderry and the historic site at Derry was also renamed Londonderry – a name that is still causing controversy today.3 The baronies within the new county were: 1. Tirkeeran, an area to the east of the Foyle river which included the Faughan valley. 2. Keenaght, an area which included the valley of the river Roe and the lowlands at its mouth along Lough Foyle, including Magilligan. 3. Coleraine, an area which included the western side of the lower Bann valley as far west as Dunboe and Ringsend and stretching southwards from the north coast through Macosquin, Aghadowey, and Garvagh to near Kilrea. 4. Loughinsholin, formerly an area in county Tyrone, situated between the Sperrin mountains in the west and the river Bann and Lough Neagh on the east, and stretching southwards from around Kilrea through Maghera, Magherafelt and Moneymore to the river Ballinderry.

  • Excavating Cartographic Encounters in Plantation Ireland Through GIS
    Mapping Worlds? Excavating Cartographic Encounters in Plantation Ireland through GIS Keith Lilley and Catherine Porter School of Geography, Archaeology and Palaeoecology Queen’s University Belfast ABSTRACT: This paper uses the analytical potential of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to explore processes of map production and circulation in early- seventeenth-century Ireland. The paper focuses on a group of historic maps attributed to Josias Bodley, which were commissioned in 1609 by the English Crown to assist in the Plantation of Ulster. Through GIS and digitizing map-features, and in particular by quantifying map-distortion, it is possible to examine how these maps were made, and by whom. Statistical analyses of spatial data derived from the GIS are shown to provide a methodological basis for “excavating” historical geographies of Plantation map-making. These techniques, when combined with contemporary written sources, reveal further insight on the “cartographic encounters” taking place between surveyors and map-makers working in Ireland in the early 1600s, opening up the “mapping worlds” which linked Ireland and Britain through the networks and embodied practices of Bodley and his map-makers. rom his lodging on the Strand in London in March 1610, Sir Thomas Ridgeway, the first earl of Londonderry, wrote a letter to the earl of Salisbury, Robert Cecil, then the lord treasurer Ffor England and the English Crown.1 Referring to maps “newly bound in six several books,” Ridgeway’s letter marked the end of a long enterprise, begun some eighteen months earlier, of surveying and mapping the Irish lands newly taken for plantation; the escheated counties of Ulster.

  • 27 Myths About Ulster
    and the facts What is really happening in Northern Ireland? Who is to blame? What’s it all about? These are the questions people all over the world are asking, as, almost every day, newspapers, television and radio carry reports of violence in Belfast or Londonderry, and of shooting, bombing and arson or clashes in the streets, often involving the Army. The outrages have been going on since 1968 when a Civil Rights demonstration, demanding the abolition of a restriction that confined voting in local council elect- ions to rated occupiers, clashed with the police. Since then the disturbances have been intensified by the intervention of the Irish Republican Army, a militant nationalist organisation that is illegal both in North- ern Ireland and the Irish Republic. Coupled with this subversion is a vicious and insidious propaganda cam- paign which colours the reports and com- mentaries of even the most impeccable and reliable observers, who, to preserve their impartiality and reputation, must draw upon information from all sources, whether it is tendencious and incomplete or based upon fact. It was with these thoughts in mind that Dr. Hugh Shearman, widely recognised as an historian and authoritative writer 1 on Irish affairs, compiled the record of “Myths” that make up this booklet. In it Dr. Shearman exposes some of the fallacies and emotive slogans which, One Man One Vote: The use of this through skilful and persistent repetition emotive slogan has persuaded people all have come to be accepted as fact.

  • History Revision – the Plantations
    History Revision – The Plantations What was Plantation? In the 16-century the English were seeking to extend their control over Ireland. One of the ways they tried to do this was to drive the Irish landowners off their land and replace them with English or Scottish settlers. Between the 1550’s and the 1650’s Four Plantations took place in Ireland. Each plantation was the result of a rebellion by the Irish who were trying to resist the extension of English control over Ireland. PLANTATION. RULER WHO ORDERED REVOLT THAT LED TO IT. IT. PLANTATION OF LAOIS REBELLION OF O AND OFFALY IN 1556. MOORES AND O QUEEN MARY I CONNORS IN 1553. PLANTATION OF QUEEN ELIZABETH I THE DESMOND MUNSTER IN 1586. REBELLION IN 1579.

These were constantly raiding The Pale {the part of Ireland controlled by the English} and had to be dealt with. First of all the Lord Deputy gradually pushed them back to the River Shannon and built a number of Forts on their land to keep the peace. Queen Mary then granted the land surrounding the Forts to army officers and old English officers on certain conditions; They had to build stone houses. They had to set up towns and villages.
