Henry VIII and Ireland A Crown Policy of Tolerance and Clash
The text recounts Henry VIII’s Ireland policy after 1541, including oath of supremacy for officials, suppression of monasteries, and land redistribution. It notes the Dublin parliament elevating Henry and his successors, titles granted to chiefs, and a generally conciliatory approach that left the country at peace. It contrasts later efforts to Protestantize and plant colonies with the earlier restraint.
