The Tudor Occupation of Boulogne
Brazen as Falstaff, Devious as Iago
Much has been made of the ideological connection between the mental world of servitors in Elizabethan Ireland and the origins of early English colonial endeavor in North America. In this vein, the case of Sir Ralph Lane, the first governor of the Roanoke colony and, later, muster-master general of Ireland, would seem to present a historiographically promising test case, one that might not only link Ireland and the Roanoke Colony but also could sh…
Ideas and Realities in the Elizabethan Experience of Colonizing Ireland and America
Taking the opportunity of a seminal article's fiftieth anniversary, Audrey Horning, Peter Mancall, Hiram Morgan, and Rory Rapple discuss the impact of Nicholas P. Canny's 1973 William and Mary Quarterly article, "The Ideology of English Colonization: From Ireland to America," on scholarship on both sides of the Atlantic. Alison Games provides an introductory essay for the Forum, and Canny provides a response
A lan G allay . Walter Ralegh
There are many biographies of Sir Walter Ralegh, and yet he often appears difficult to contextualize. Although he was arguably the most brilliant Elizabethan of them all, Ralegh’s life anticipated Jacobean themes and anxieties in such a way as to make him an awkward presence in the established historiography of the Elizabethan era. Paradoxically, during the reign of James VI and I, when his interests and commitments seemed more à la mode, Ralegh …
The Irish in the Spanish Armies in the Seventeenth Century, by Eduardo de Mesa
The Irish Tercios in seventeenth-century Spanish armies were of disproportionate influence given their size. Encoded within their internal power-relations lay much that would later find expression in the politics of the Catholic Confederacy of Kilkenny between 1642 and 1649. With a rank and file recruited throughout the 1610s to the mid-1640s from the Gaelic Irish and Old English population in Ireland, the Tercios’ officer corps preserved the pre…
Elizabethan Absolutism and Tamburlaine’s Tents
In 1571 Sir Humphrey Gilbert made a speech in the House of Commons that incited denunciation by his fellow MPs. He warned that Elizabeth could, if she so desired, suppress parliament and never summon it again. When this intervention is considered alongside Gilbert’s statements and alleged actions while on campaign in Ireland in the late 1560s, as well as his known activities in England in the early 1570s, it becomes clear that the speech was but …
Shakespeare, the Irish, and Military Culture
Ireland was peripheral to Shakespeare’s thinking. The notion of the sister kingdom and the existence of its inhabitants were familiar to him, but this familiarity did not lead to curiosity. Ireland and the Irish could be portrayed as bogeymen: current anxieties in London about revolting Gaelic-Irish troops in the Netherlands, the reverses the Crown army suffered in the Nine Years’ War and the corruption that Irish service visited both upon the En…

Writing About Violence in the Tudor Kingdoms
Despite differing historiographical traditions, the histories of Tudor England and Ireland often face similar problems, not least how best to narrate and analyse episodes of state and non-state violence in a satisfying way. Latterly, sophisticated models for dealing with this have emerged in treatments of English popular politics. These works succeed in eschewing both inherited ideas of English exceptionalism and the ‘enclosure’ of social history…
Martial Power and Elizabethan Political Culture
This book studies the careers and political thinking of English martial men, left deeply frustrated as Elizabeth I's quietist foreign policy destroyed the ambitions that the wars of the mid-sixteenth century had excited in them. Until the mid 1580s, unemployment, official disparagement and downward mobility became grim facts of life for many military captains. Rory Rapple examines the experiences and attitudes of this generation of officers and p…
Taking Up Office in Elizabethan Connacht
Sir Richard Bingham (1527/8 – 1599) has commonly been portrayed as emblematic of a cadre of English martial men entrusted with local government in Elizabethan Ireland: a ‘representative’ garrison hardliner. However this view overlooks the fact that at the time of his appointment as Governor of Connacht, Bingham, whose record of loyalty to the monarch appeared patchy at best, was a tremendously unpopular figure among the governing establishment in…
