"Ireland under the Stuarts and During the Interregnum, Vol. 3 (of 3), 1660-1690" by Richard Bagwell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a comprehensive examination of Ireland's political dynamics during the Stuart era and the interregnum, focusing specifically on the period surrounding the Restoration of Charles II up to the late 17th century. The book likely delves into the intricate relationships between Irish and English governance, land settlements, and the enduring tensions rooted in religion and political allegiance. The beginning of this volume addresses the immediate aftermath of the Restoration in 1660, outlining the political maneuvers and rivalries among key figures such as Sir Charles Coote and Henry Cromwell. It details the reactions of the Irish Convention as they navigated the tumultuous landscape under Charles II's return, emphasizing debates around governance, authority, and land holdings. There is a focus on proclamations made during this period, particularly concerning the church's role and the rights of the Irish parliament. The narrative sets the stage for further explorations into the conflict between loyalists and republicans, as well as the Catholic and Protestant populations, hinting at the broader socio-political themes that will be explored in subsequent chapters.
