The Tudor conquest (or reconquest) of Ireland took place under the Tudor dynasty, which held the Kingdom of England during the 16th century. Following a failed rebellion against the crown by Silken Thomas, the Earl of Kildare, in the 1530s, Henry VIII was declared King of Ireland in 1542 by statute of the Parliament of Ireland, with the aim of restoring such central authority as had been lost throughout the country during the previous two centuries. Several people who helped establish the Plantations of Ireland also played a part later in the early colonization of North America, particularly a group known as the West Country men. Alternating conciliation and repression, the conquest continued for sixty years, until 1603, when the entire country came under the nominal control of James I._x000D_ Contents:_x000D_ Introductory_x000D_ The Reign of Henry VII_x000D_ From the Accession of Henry VIII to the Year 1534_x000D_ The Geraldine Rebellion, 1534-1535_x000D_ From the Year 1536 to the Year 1540_x000D_ End of Grey's Administration_x000D_ 1540 and 1541_x000D_ 1541 to the Close of the Reign of Henry VIII_x000D_ The Irish Church under Henry VIII_x000D_ From the Accession of Edward VI to the Year 1551_x000D_ From the Year 1551 to the Death of Edward VI_x000D_ The Reign of Mary_x000D_ From the Accession of Elizabeth to the Year 1561_x000D_ 1561-1564_x000D_ 1564 and 1565_x000D_ 1566-1570_x000D_ 1570 and 1571_x000D_ Foreign Intrigues_x000D_ 1571-1574_x000D_ Administration of Fitzwilliam, 1574 and 1575_x000D_ Administration of Sidney, 1575-1578_x000D_ The Irish Church during the First Twenty Years of Elizabeth's Reign_x000D_ Rebellion of James Fitzmaurice, 1579_x000D_ The Desmond Rebellion, 1579-1580_x000D_ The Desmond War 1580-1582_x000D_ Government of Perrott, 1583-1588_x000D_ The Invincible Armada_x000D_ Administration of Fitzwilliam, 1588-1594_x000D_ Government of Lord Burgh, 1597_x000D_ General Rising under Tyrone, 1598-1599_x000D_ Essex in Ireland, 1599_x000D_ Government of Mountjoy, 1600-1601_x000D_ The Spaniards in Munster, 1601-1602_x000D_ The End of the Reign, 1602-1603_x000D_ Elizabethan Ireland
