Note 145 — PART II The Eve of “1641”
Reading edition
Rushworth’s Trial of the Earl of Strafford, 517. This statement is confirmed by a Catholic pamphleteer who called himself Antonius Prodinus. “Thomas, comes Straffordiæ, Hiberniæ prorex, decem milia Catholicorum Hibernorum militum a multis ante mensibus in armis habuit in Ultonia.” Descriptio regni Hiberniæ, p. 41. Carte, however, asserts that the officers and 1,000 of the private soldiers were Protestants. Life of Ormond, I., 132.
