Download or read book Docwra's Derry written by Henry Docwra and published by Ulster Historical Foundation. This book was released on 2003 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely accepted that no understanding of modern Irish history is complete without an awareness of the significance of events in the seventeenth century. This is true in particular of the Ulster Plantation. Sir Henry Docwra's military expedition, which arrived in Lough Foyle in May 1600, at the height of the Nine Years War, was instrumental in paving the way for James I's Plantation of Ulster that began only a few years later ... after Docwra, the English stayed. The decisive intervention of Docwra's small army brought to an end a conflict whose outcome was crucial in shaping the path of Irish history after 1600. It led also to Docwra bequeathing to us one of the most illuminating military journals in what was to become, even by Irish standards, a war-torn century. His 'Narration of the Services done by the Army Ymployed to Lough-Foyle vnder the leadinge of mee' is not only a fascinating description of Docwra's campaign in the north-west, it can also claim to be the best eyewitness account of a military campaign of the period. Docwra's 'Narration' was first edited and transcribed by the great Irish scholar, John O'Donovan, in 1849. This edition, edited by Billy Kelly, not only includes O'Donovan's comprehensive notes, including translations and descriptions of all the Irish place-names mentioned by Docwra, it also includes insights from more recent scholarship on the Nine Years War. An introduction, new maps, glossaries of terms, a bibliography, chronology and a full index all contribute to making this invaluable and previously scarcely-accessible text available for the general reader as well as being a 'must have' for the many interested in military history.

Book Synopsis Elizabeth's Irish Wars by : Cyril Falls
Download or read book Elizabeth's Irish Wars written by Cyril Falls and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reign of Elizabeth I will always be remembered for the Armada. But it was the Irish, not the Spanish, who came closest to destroying the security of the Elizabethan state. Between 1560 and 1602, only superior military force -- allied with ruthless subjugation -- preserved England's throne against a succession of rebellions and uprisings throughout Ireland. This classic work by renowned military historian Cyril Falls is the crucial account of the half century that changed the course of Anglo-Irish history. The Elizabethan wars in Ireland involved the collision of two civilizations. Falls's critical work gives a vital perspective to the broad sweep of Anglo-Irish relations.

Book Synopsis The Plantation of Ulster by : Jonathan Bardon
Download or read book The Plantation of Ulster written by Jonathan Bardon and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2011-11-04 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this vivid account, the author punctures some generally held assumptions: despite slaughter and famine, the province on the eve of the Plantation was not completely depopulated as was often asserted at the time; the native Irish were not deliberately given the most infertile land; some of the most energetic planters were Catholic; and the Catholic Church there emerged stronger than before. Above all, natives and newcomers fused to a greater degree than is widely believed: apart from recent immigrants, nearly all Ulster people today have the blood of both Planter and Gael flowing in their veins. Nevertheless, memories of dispossession and massacre, etched into the folk memory, were to ignite explosive outbreaks of intercommunal conflict down to our own time. The Plantation was also the beginning of a far greater exodus to North America. Subsequently, descendants of Ulster planters crossed the Atlantic in their tens of thousands to play a central role in shaping the United States of America.
