Aims: Assert full control of Ireland and implement a policy of 'Englishness' including religion.
Background: Ireland was mostly catholic with a different language and Laws (the Lord Deputy ruled on E's behalf); 1560 - Elizabeth became Supreme Governor of Irish Church but lacked enough control to impose protestantism; increasing unrest caused by English Nobility and Gentry investing in Irish land to 'get rich quick' - the poor relations and imposition of martial law led to growing resentment.
