The following are depictions of the Irish rising which commenced in Ulster on 22 October 1641 amid a
constitutional and related economic crisis convulsing Charles I’s multiple monarchy.
There were three plots - a conspiracy by Rory O’More and Conor Maguire in February 1641; a conspiracy of army
officers disbanded from Wentworth’s army, subsequently abandoned; and the coalescence of these earlier plots
under Sir Phelim O’Neill in August. The insurrection has traditionally been seen as a revolt
against the Ulster plantation.However, the main conspirators were debt-ridden scions of
families who were originally beneficiaries rather than victims of the plantation.

Title page of Sir John Temple’s History of the Irish Rebellion
(1646)
Temple's account of the 1641 rising was perhaps the most lurid of the
sensationalist works of propaganda produced in the aftermath of the
rising.
The allegation that the rising was a premeditated plot to exterminate the
Protestant population, and the wild exaggeration of the numbers killed,
helped legitimize the sequestration of Catholic land in the Adventurers’ Act
and Cromwellian land settlement.
The frequent republication of the History of the Irish Rebellion - nine
times by 1812 - reflected periods of Irish Protestant anxiety.
Conversely, the book was loathed by Irish Catholics and was publicly
burned on the orders of the Patriot Parliament of 1689.
