During the 12th century, the people of Ireland came under the sway of the English, who had extended into their domain. With every subsequent century, English dominion in the land gradually expanded, leading to the exceedingly harsh treatment of native Irish populations at the hands of English settlers. The Tudor period was especially tumultuous, with Elizabeth I waging a notoriously expensive conquest against the Irish in the waning years of her reign. Following the religious and political escapades known as the two Bishops' Wars, which saw a successful Scottish rebellion against the second Stuart king, Charles I, a host of new doors to anti-English and anti-Royalist sentiments were opened to dissenting Irishmen.
