Your reference was the source of that exact quote, so while some Irish wanna-be might not agree with his own reference it doesn't make the Irish wanna-be correct. http://www.rte.ie/culture/millennia/history/0900.html "Before Henry VIII came to power in 1509 the English had LITTLE INFLUENCE over Ireland." Itimply does not mean what you claim the next line is "Henry feared that foreign or domestic enemies would use Ireland as a base for .. attacking him. In the past, Yorkist pretenders, such as Lambert Simnel and ..Perkin Warbeck, spent time in Ireland and got support from the Irish lords. Politically, .. Henry needed to have the country under his control. " This is completely consistent with a lack of royal control over the english miliatry occupation. the reference also says in the prior section "It was vital for the English settlers to have an efficient law code and government if .. they were to maintain control over the newly conquered country." To recapitulate . there was a military occupatiion of Ireland by Anglo Norman free booters, who could justify their military conquests by a nominal allegiance to the King of England as a personal feudal lord. This put the English invadeers in control of large sections of the country as local miliatry warlords. For what its worth I ma descended form one of the key warlords , the Butler family, dukes of Ormonde The Fitzgeralds as in John Fitzgerald Kennedy, are another of these norman freebooters. Vince |
