Probably written by a Protestant; politically neutral but recognising Charles II as King of Ireland; also concludes that Plunkett may have been innocent of the charges for which he was executed (noting that no London jury could have been expected to reach such a conclusion, because of memories of the Irish Catholic massacres of Protestants in 1641). --- note in Du copy.Subject Executions and executioners -- Ireland -- Early works to 1800.
