Flight Of The Earls IRISH HISTORY ULSTER PLANTATION part 12 of 12
|
The small fishing town of Rathmullan witnessed probably the most key event in Irish history - The Flight of the Earls and the end of the old Gaelic order. From this spot in 1607 a small ship left for Spain. On board were the chieftains of some of the leading Gaelic families of Ulster, incuding the O'Donnells and the O'Neills. These chieftains who could not live with the new English order sought refuge with England's main enemy, with the hope either of making a new life for themselves, or of living to fight another day.The Flight of the Earls in 1607 gave the English government the perfect opportunity to put their most ambitious plans into action. The Earls 'Flight' meant they were now traitors in the eyes of the King James of England. He ordered their land be taken and it became property of the Crown.Their plan was simple. The land belonging to the Earls would be given to English Protestants and Scottish Presbyterians. The exception to this was the land between Derry and Coleraine. This area was bought by twelve London companies. It was they who renamed the county to Londonderry.At the time the Flight of the Earls is of major international significance. It threatens to upset peace treaties and agreements between superpowers of the age. This is an excellent documentary examining one of the most important events in the History of Ireland
