THE PLANTATIONS
Planning the Ulster
Plantation.
UNDERTAKERS
• The Undertakers were considered the most
important planters. The King made careful plans
about them in the Ulster Plantation.
Before receiving land, an Undertaker had to make
certain promises to the king.
Within three years he was to:
– 'Build a stronghold'.
– 'Build a village beside each stronghold'.
The purpose of the strongholds was to protect the
planters from the Irish. There were three kinds of
strongholds:
UNDERTAKERS
1. An undertaker who got 1000 acres
promised to build a stone courtyard called
a bawn. It looked like this.
3. An undertaker who got
2000 acres promised to
build a bawn and castle.
It looked like this.
2. An undertaker who got 1500 acres promised to build a large
stone house in the bawn. It looked like this.
PRIMARY SOURCES:
• Examine the picture
and answer the
questions:
1. What are the security
features of the
stronghold?
2. Why was it necessary
for the undertakers to
be security conscious?

Other Promises
1. The most important promise
was to bring in at least 10

• He must not allow any Irish farmers settle on his land.
• He must pay £5.33 for every 1,000 acres he got.
SERVITOR & TRUSTED IRISH

THE IRISH IN ULSTER
• About 10% of Irish chiefs were allowed to keep their
land. They were known as the ‘Trusted Irish’ because of
their loyalty to the king. They had to follow English law
and customs.
• Undertakers kept on many Irish tenants during the
plantation of Ulster because they needed a workforce.
They were given the worst land and had the highest
rent.
• The kernes (soldiers) who fought for the Irish chiefs
who fled in the Flight of the Earls had no work. They
resented the settlers and attacked their land and
animals.
RESULTS OF THE PLANTATIONS
• POLITICAL – Conflict arose between Catholics and Protestants
over land and religion. Protestants controlled most of the
power through the penal laws, which forbade Catholics from
owning land. This contributed to the Troubles in Northern
Ireland at the end of the 20th century.
• RELIGIOUS – The planters were Protestants, but they were in
a minority in Ireland. The majority of Protestants were in
Northern Ireland, especially Antrim, Down and north Armagh.
The plantations failed to crush the Catholic religion.
• CULTURAL – The Culture and language of Gaelic Ireland
declined with English language, law and culture becoming
more widespread. New farming methods and towns were
introduced.
TASK
