“…20 Moreover, the general supposition has been that a handful of influential texts were written by Old English officials during the reign of Henry VIII and that thereafter political discourse on Ireland was dominated by New Englishmen. 21 While this is broadly accurate, what follows highlights how Old Englishmen continued to write treatises down to the end of the Tudor period with some effect. It also shows that numerous Gaelic Irish writers composed treatises, something generally ignored.…”

“…In the words of Brendan Bradshaw, Henry VIII was now 'in honor bound to exercise the functions of king of Ireland'. 19 This engagement of monarchical honor held out great promise for the normalization of Anglo-Irish politics. As the Lord Deputy of Ireland, Anthony St Leger, argued to his master Henry VIII, the Irish were troublesome and disloyal for the simple reason that they were not his subjects.…”

The study of honor has greatly enriched historians’ understanding of early modern societies. By providing a means to explore the interplay between individual and collective notions of worth, it has allowed scholars to more closely investigate the relationship between culture and politics. In this historiography there has been important, but limited, work on Ireland. This article suggests the importance of honor not only for understanding early modern Ireland in its own right, but also for understanding a crucial cultural factor in the emergence of the British state. It proposes a three‐part framework through which the negotiation of honor claims in Anglo‐Irish relations may be explored and their political implications assessed: from Gaelic eineach, through Anglo‐Irish onóir, to British honor.

“…Collective efforts to assert a legitimate national Irish polity in the face of emerging New English hegemony had been occurring in various capacities since the mid-Tudor period (Bradshaw, 1979).

In recent years, a growing recognition of the interconnections (in addition to the conflicts) between the worlds of the coloniser and the colonised has enabled the construction of an enhanced collection of differentiated and nuanced historico-geographical accounts of the spaces and practices of colonialism. Indeed, it has become somewhat fashionable in postcolonial studies to emphasise the fluidity and 'in-between space' of 'colonial' projects and 'native' reaction. This is, however, arguably to the detriment of engaging the enmity and violence frequently an integral part of the colonial enterprise. This paper interrogates the in-between spaces of a colonial Ireland just beginning to be defined in the early seventeenth century and demonstrates how they were delimited ultimately by an essentialised envisioning of a radical settler colonial discourse and a corresponding exclusivism in colonial practice on the ground. By examining the outbreak of the 1641 Rebellion in Munster, the discussion considers the emergence of competing and exclusive Protestant and Catholic identities, and highlights the bounded nature of cultural interaction in early modern Ireland.
