The population of Ulster today, derived mainly from Scotland, far from proving 8n exception, personifies the problem. So greatly does the population of Ulster differ from the rest of Ireland that barbed wire and road blocks period­ Ically, even now, demark the boundaries between the two. Over three centuries after the Scots arrived, they stili maintain their differences from those who Inhabited Ireland before them. The mein body of these settlers of Scottish descent arrived after 1607. The 'flight of the earls,' when the earls of Tyron. and Tyrconnell fled to the conTinent, left vast areas of land In the hands of the crown. Although schemes for the plantation of U.lster had been mooted before, the dramatic exit of the two earls flnelly aroused the English to action.

    O'NEILL & ORMOND A CHAPTER IN IRISH HISTORY O'NEILL & ORMOND A CHAPTER IN IRISH HISTORY BY DIARMID COFFEY 1^ MAUNSEL & COMPANY, LTD. DUBLIN AND LONDON 1914 All rights reserved. TO ERSKINE GUILDERS PREFACE THE history of Ireland from 1641 to 1653 is divided into three great episodes: the rising of 1641, the Confederation of Kilkenny, and the Cromwellian Conquest of Ireland. Ireland has never been the fighting ground of more parties and factions than she was in this period. It is therefore difficult to preserve the unity of the narra- tive, which must embrace a body constantly changing its purpose, and to show some continuity in what is often an apparently aimless maze of intrigue. This will serve to explain the title I have chosen " for my book, O'Neill and Ormond." Owen Roe O'Neill and James, Earl of Ormond stand out clearly as the leading figures of the time. They are strongly contrasted. O'Neill, the leader of the Irish, con- stantly struggling against every kind of difficulty, a strong, determined man, whose only aim is the ad- vancement and freedom of his people, falls a victim to faction and self-interest. The history of Owen Roe O'Neill is like the history of every great Irishman who has worked for his country a desperate struggle against overwhelming odds, only to end in death when the cause for which he has been fighting is lost and every hope of helping his country seems extinguished. Ormond, on the other hand, is the great English governor. He may have cared for Ireland, but he certainly cared more for the King and all that he stood for.
