DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The History of Ulster, From the Earliest Times, to the Present Day, Vol. 3 The trial and death of Strafford belong rather to English than to Irish history, but so commanding a personality cannot be permitted to disappear from these pages without any reference to the fate that awaited the lord-lieutenant of Ireland on his arrival in London. The Long Parliament was opened on the grd of November, 1640, and one of its first acts was the impeachment of Strafford. Many of the charges against him related to his Irish administration, but the most serious of them, in the eyes of the Puritans, were his attempts to establish the arbitrary power of the Crown and his enrolment of an army of Irish Papists, which he was accused of intending to bring over to support the King against his subjects in England. A deputation from the Irish Parliament, which had SO recently lauded him, arrived with a remonstrance of grievances against him.
