History and Politics Ireland Lord Westmoreland's Viceroyalty
A critical account of Lord Westmoreland's five year viceroyalty in Ireland from 1790 to 1795, detailing corruption accusations, Catholic relief attempts, and rising tensions that fed into the 1798 rebellion. It weighs Pitt's policies, ministerial dynamics, and the run to Union while praising and faulting key figures like Grattan, Barrington, Parsons, and Lord Clare. It notes the 1793 Catholic concessions, the distorted Irish Parliament, and the volatile push toward reform and union.
