What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Land was distributed in Armagh and Donegal by English undertakers during the Plantation. This initiative stemmed from the idea of Sir Arthur Chichester, who served as Lord Deputy of Ireland. In 1608, Parliament decreed that all lands previously belonging to Irish earls became property of the Crown.
