Note 33 — The Plantation of Ulster

Plantation Papers, p. 29. An early and unsuccessful attempt to plant had been made on Sir Oghie O’Hanlon’s land in 1569; it had been taken from him and given to Captain Chatterton. Chatterton was killed, and as nobody would venture to plant the land, it was restored to O’Hanlon. An interesting proclamation of Carew’s in 1603, on the subject of the rate of wages in the North of Ireland, is given in Plantation Papers, p. 79.
