Description
This edition calendars material in the National Archives in London (TNA, formerly PRO) relating to policy towards Ireland and the governance of Ireland in the late Tudor period. The documents in this calendar date from the opening two years of Sir Henry Sidney’s first term in office as lord deputy of Ireland, from January 1566 to December 1567. While English perspectives on Ireland predominate, historians wishing to concentrate on themes relating to ‘natives’ rather than ‘newcomers’ in early modern Ireland will find the state papers an invaluable source.
