Abstract
The Reformation reached Ireland, effectively, in 1541 when the Dublin parliament renamed Ireland as a kingdom, and Henry VIII became both king and head of the church. His designated Archbishop had influence within the Pale, and under the two Tudor sisters, Mary and Elizabeth, the new theology waned and waxed under aggressive religio-political enthusiasms. In the 1640s O’Neil’s uprising and the subsequent repression under Oliver Cromwell led to consolidation of English Protestant hegemony and expulsion of Dublin’s Catholics. Compounding, the population changes were outbreaks of plague as the victors consolidated their gains.
