Abstract:
This thesis considers the relations between the Protestants of Ireland and the
Long Parliament from the outbreak of the 1641 Rising until mid -1647. It aims to show
that Ireland was a central concern of Parliament's throughout these years, as being an
element in the self-definition of the parliamentary 'cause' of one of religious and
national defence; and that the eventual accommodation of Irish Protestants and
Parliament was founded on a compatibility of objectives, based on victory in the Irish
war, strong enough to overcome constitutional scruples if not pressed too hard. The
principal sources used are the records of Parliament and of its Irish committees, and
collections relating to Irish Protestant figures, most notably the Carte collection of
Ormond papers. Newsletters have been sampled where it seemed most appropriate and
contemporary pamphlets and other works have been consulted.
