The Tudor Conquest of Ireland - Kinbane Castle Northern Ireland

In 1542 the CROWN OF IRELAND ACT was passed making Henry and all of his descendants KING of Ireland. He began a policy of having the Irish chiefs give their lands to him and then he would give them back under a Royal Charter - they would keep their lands and have protection but there was a very heavy exchanges they would pay rent, they would have to change their title, and their entire way of life would have to become Anglicized this meant clothing, language, and feligion By the time Henry's son Edward VI the became king England decided to take serious measure to deal with the MacDonnell Clan-the most powerful caln on the Antrim Coast in the North of Ireland. In 1551 Sir James Croft was sent with a fleet of 4 ships to launch an attack on in MacDonell clan and most specifically Kinbane Castle. The English sieges of Kinbane Castle against the great Colla MacDonell fell in to legend. Underneath the castle a cave became known as "Lag Na Sassenach" or Hollow of the English.

I can’t tell you how much I love your channel. Not many people realize the history between the Catholic Highlands and Ireland and our centuries long struggle against the against the English. Especially since the plantations and Cromwell. Henry was definitely the start of the colonization of Ireland. I feel like this is a history that gets lost in both Irish and Scottish history.

💚💚 it’s always important to me to tell the stories that often get left out. They don’t do as well on any algorithm. But very much need to be told! Thank you friend!

@@EvelynEdwards You have done a lovely job of uncovering history, that still affects the feelings towards how the English are perceived today. 💗
