Doyle THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF M.LITT. DEPARTMENT OF MODERN HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH HEAD OF DEPARTMENT: Professor R. V . Comerford Supervisor of Research: Dr Raymond Gillespie November 2004 S u m m a r y This thesis is concerned with rectifying a largely unexplored aspect of Restoration Ireland— that of how politics conducted between all three Stuart kingdoms was seen from the perspective of, and impacted upon, the Irish government. It accomplishes * this in three ways: first by using the discovery of several Catholic plots and the resultant political instability in England and Scotland to expose the tensions inherent in the duke o f Ormond’s position as lord lieutenant of Ireland; second by highlighting the dynamics of instability that distorted his position during such periods and finally by outlining how the duke of Ormond undertook to manage such tensions and re­ establish his position in the Stuart political nation. In so doing this thesis arrives at a more representative picture of the role and position of the Irish government and kingdom within the Stuart monarchy before the accession of James, duke o f York. It begins with the political fallout of Titus Oates’s discoveries in September 1678 before detailing the fragility of Ormond’s position because of the political upheavals in England and Scotland. By early 1680 growing animosity between the crown and the Whigs compelled the latter to use unconstitutional means to assert their position and embarrass the duke of York by proving that his key alley Ormond had suppressed evidence about an Irish Catholic plot. In late 1680 the Whigs brought this plot before parliament to prepare the ground for the duke of York’s exclusion. However at this moment of crisis and despite his dire financial straits Charles II refused to have the institution of monarchy circumscribed by parliament. From this point onwards Ormond’s position strengthened gradually culminating in his arrival in London to participate in the overthrow o f the W hig political ascendancy in London.

INTRODUCTION 1 The aim of this thesis is to examine and clarify the position of Ireland within the composite Stuart monarchy during the period 1677-82 by focusing on the position of its viceroy at this time, James Butler, first duke of Ormond. At the outset however, it is necessary to briefly outline Ormond’s career in the years preceding 1677. The histo y of seventeenth-century Ireland cannot be written or understood without taking full account of one of its most dominating and enduring figures, James Butler, duke of Ormond (1610-88). He was bom in Clerkenwell, Middlesex, on 19 September 1610, the eldest son of Thomas, Viscount Thurles and Elizabeth Poyntz.1 In 1619, after his father was drowned in the Irish Sea, James was declared a royal ward and put into the hands of George Abbot, archbishop of Canterbury, as James I was determined to promote the Protestant interest in Ireland by raising the children of prominent recusants in that faith wherever he could .2 In 1633, upon the death of his grandfather, Walter Butler, he became the twelfth earl of Ormond. However unlike his predecessors, it was impossible for Ormond to play the role of a typical feudal overlord. His Protestant upbringing and debts of over £45,000, accrued by his grandfather in his efforts to reunite the Butler lands, dictated from the word go that it would be to his advantage to serve the crown and the Protestant interest in Ireland over any local interests.3 During the 1630s, Ormond actively supported the efforts of the lord deputy of Ireland, Thomas Wentworth, to consolidate royal power through plantation, the enforcement of religious conformity with the Church of England and the enlargement of the Irish army.4 During the fractious period of the 1640s when civil war engulfed all three kingdoms of the Stuart polity, Ormond led the king’s 1 Toby Barnard and Jane Fenlon (ed.), The dukes of Ormonde, 1610-1745 (London, 2000), p. xi; J.

His estates, which had been confiscated during the Interregnum, were restored and in • 8 • November 1661, he was appointed lord lieutenant of Ireland for the second time. His subsequent administration of Ireland can be noted for his attempts to come to grips with the aftermath of the 1640s and ’50s, the deeply divisive issues of land and religion, and a shattered economy.9 On 14 February 1669, two years after the banishment from England of his key ally, Edward Hyde, earl of Clarendon, Ormond himself was removed from office, not because of a hostile court, but as Ronald Hutton contends, because Charles II wanted more compliant ministers. This was in order to pursue policies opposed by Ormond such as a more liberal religious policy in Ireland and, externally to promote close relations with France.10 Out of office and out of favour, the early 1670s were a particularly difficult period in Ormond’s career. His income was substantially decreased before he had been able to reduce the massive 4 S.

The Shaw Festival’s mandate also includes: • Uncovered Gems – digging up undiscovered theatrical treasures, or plays which were considered major works when they were written but which have since been unjustly neglected • American Classics – we continue to celebrate the best of American theatre • Musicals – musical treats either from, or set during the period of our mandate • Canadian Work – to allow us to hear and promote our own stories, and our own WHAT MAKES points of view about the mandate period.

  • Our Patron Saint St Oliver Plunkett (1625
    Our Patron Saint St Oliver Plunkett (1625 - 1681) Oliver Plunkett was born in Ireland in 1625. At that time, Catholics were persecuted for their faith and many were evicted from their homes and forbidden from attending mass. Priests, themselves, were hunted down and particularly punished if they were caught. Many priests fled to Rome to study for the priesthood. Oliver went to Rome and was ordained in 1654 as a priest and then later, in 1669, as the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland. On his return to Ireland, Archbishop Plunkett established himself as a man of peace and set about visiting his people, establishing schools, ordaining priests and confirming thousands of lay people. During this time, he made many enemies, one of whom later gave evidence at his trial. In 1673, with a renewal of religious persecution, bishops were banned once again and Archbishop Plunkett went into hiding and suffered a great deal. His letters revealed a determination not to abandon his people but to remain a faithful shepherd. The oppression eventually eased and for a short time, he was able to move amongst his people more freely, once again. In 1679, Archbishop Plunkett was arrested and falsely charged with treason. This man of peace was accused of plotting to bring 20 000 French soldiers to Ireland. He was taken to London to stand trial and because he was not given time to arrange his defence. Archbishop Plunkett was found guilty and sentenced to death. The presiding judge said that at the basis of his treason charge was the setting up of a false religion, which was a crime against God.

  • The Professionalisation of the Royal Navy: 1660-1688
    The Professionalisation of the Royal Navy: 1660-1688 by Samantha Middleton The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of the University of Portsmouth September 2020 Abstract This thesis analyses the developments made between 1660 and 1688 that contributed towards the Royal Navy becoming a more professionalised organisation. It outlines the impact of individuals and their methods towards achieving professionalisation. The political and financial problems facing the navy before the restoration of the monarchy are also addressed. Biographical case studies of three influential naval reformers; James Stewart, The Duke of York; William Coventry; and Samuel Pepys are used to demonstrate the significant influence that they had on the process of professionalization. This thesis ascertains that although the terminology had not been invented at this stage, the principles of Management Control were implemented by Pepys, Coventry and the Duke of York as a method of organizational professionalisation, identifying examples of performance measurement, rewards systems and the implantation of standard operating procedures. An in-depth analysis of the Duke of York’s instructions for the duties of the Principal Officers demonstrates that the Duke of York introduced enhanced accounting procedures and additional control mechanisms to reduce abuses and increase administrative efficiency. Additionally, a set of professional responsibilities has been created within this thesis for Coventry, whose role as secretary is absent from the instructions. This shows for the first time, that Coventry identified his professional remit as focusing primarily on retrenchment and the reduction of abuses. This contributed towards wider professionalisation.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
