Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Popular History of Ireland, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Earliest Period to the Emancipation of the Catholics
The triumphant Deputy arrived at Carrickfergus in Septem ber, 1568, from England. Here he received the submission, as it is called, of Tirlogh, the new o'neil, and turned his steps southwards in full assurance that this chief of Tyrone was not another strong man like the last. A new Privy Council was sworn in on his arrival at Dublin, with royal instructions to concur with the Deputy, and a year in addition to the Whole of the cess levied in the country were guaranteed to enable him to carry out his great scheme of the reduction. A Parliament was next summoned for the 17th of January, 1569, the first assmbly of that nature which had been convened since Lord Sussex's rupture with his Parliament nine years before.
