Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a pivotal document in Irish history, the 'Graces', a series of concessions, issued in 1628, by Charles I to appease Irish Catholics. It granted Catholics the right to hold office, purchase land, and practice at the Bar. While it was never fully implemented, the 'Graces' was a milestone in Anglo-Irish relations, paving the way for the Acts of Settlement and Explanation following the Jacobite Wars. The book includes supporting documents such as the Oath of Supremacy, and the Treaty of Limerick, providing valuable context to the main text. It also contains a fascinating appendix of Irish House of Lords debates that provides first-hand accounts of the challenges faced by Catholics in 17th century Ireland. The 'Graces' is essential reading for anyone interested in the complex and often fraught history of Ireland.
