Ireland under the Tudors, with a Succinct Account of the Earlier History. Vol. 3 (of 3)

The volume traces late Tudor struggles in Ireland, recounting papal and Spanish interventions, the invasion of Fitzmaurice and the prolonged Desmond rebellion, subsequent military campaigns and harsh reprisals, and the eventual collapse of resistance through famine and systematic suppression. It examines English administration under Lord‑Deputy Perrott and other officials, the treatment of Munster and Ulster, the wrecks and consequences of the Armada along the Irish coast, and the role of religion, friars, and foreign aid in sustaining opposition. Narrative draws on state papers and contemporary accounts to chart political, military, and social disruption.
