    About this ebook

    In this vivid account, the author punctures some generally held assumptions: despite slaughter and famine, the province on the eve of the Plantation was not completely depopulated as was often asserted at the time; the native Irish were not deliberately given the most infertile land; some of the most energetic planters were Catholic; and the Catholic Church there emerged stronger than before. Above all, natives and newcomers fused to a greater degree than is widely believed: apart from recent immigrants, nearly all Ulster people today have the blood of both Planter and Gael flowing in their veins. Nevertheless, memories of dispossession and massacre, etched into the folk memory, were to ignite explosive outbreaks of intercommunal conflict down to our own time. The Plantation was also the beginning of a far greater exodus to North America. Subsequently, descendants of Ulster planters crossed the Atlantic in their tens of thousands to play a central role in shaping the United States of America.

A former lecturer in history at Queen’s University, Belfast, he was the author of numerous books now widely acknowledged as classic works of Irish history, including A History of Ulster (1992), The Plantation of Ulster (2011) and A History of Ireland in 250 Episodes (2008), and presented several radio series for BBC Ulster. In 2002, he was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) for his ‘services to community life’ in Northern Ireland. Jonathan died in 2020.
