Excerpt from O'neill and Ormond: A Chapter in Irish History The position of Bishop Bedell proves that this warring of the creeds was not the real national struggle of Ireland. Though it may have in uenced many to take the Irish side who would not otherwise have done so, it was a source of weakness rather than strength. It need only be remembered that Castlehaven gave Ormond the disastrous advice to hand Dublin over to Jones. Such allies to the Irish cause were hardly to be desired. Ireland, in fighting for existence, was, as usual, made the battle ground for contending forces wholly unconnected with her interests, but which were made to seem part of the Irish question. The King against the Parliament, the Catholic against the Protestant, were never vital Irish questions that they were made to seem so explains much of the tragic history of Ireland. These conclusions must, I think, be drawn by anyone who reads Irish history with an unprejudiced mind. In the body of this book I merely present the facts and leave the reader to draw the conclusion.

With numerous maps and illustrations, James Scott Wheeler connects the strategic and tactical levels of war with political actions and reactions, and discusses how Britain and Ireland became battlegrounds in the 'war of three kingdoms'. The various stages of this period of turmoil are clearly demonstrated, right through to the execution of Charles I, the conquest of Catholic Ireland, and the eventual death of the English Republic, and provide students of history with an excellent addition to their studies.

Between 1640 and 1660 the British Isles witnessed a power struggle between king and parliament of a scale and intensity never witnessed, either before or since. Although often characterised as a straight fight between royalists and parliamentarians, recent scholarship has highlighted the complex and fluid nature of the conflict, showing how it was waged on a variety of fronts, military, political, cultural and religious, at local, national and international levels. In a melting pot of competing loyalties, shifting allegiances and varying military fortunes, it is hardly surprising that agents, conspirators and spies came to play key roles in shaping events and determining policies. In this groundbreaking study, the role of a fluctuating collection of loyal, resourceful and courageous royalist agents is uncovered and examined. By shifting the focus of attention from royal ministers, councillors, generals and senior courtiers to the agents, who operated several rungs lower down in the hierarchy of the king's supporters, a unique picture of the royalist cause is presented. The book depicts a world of feuds, jealousies and rivalries that divided and disorganised the leadership of the king's party, creating fluid and unpredictable conditions in which loyalties were frequently to individuals or factions rather than to any theoretical principle of allegiance to the crown. Lacking the firm directing hand of a Walsingham or Thurloe, the agents looked to patrons for protection, employment and advancement. Grounded on a wealth of primary source material, this book cuts through a fog of deceit and secrecy to expose the murky world of seventeenth-century espionage. Written in a lively yet scholarly style, it reveals much about the nature of the dynamics of the royalist cause, about the role of the activists, and why, despite a long series of political and military defeats, royalism survived. Simultaneously, the book offers fascinating accounts of the remarkable activities of a number of very colourful individuals.
