2 I use the term ‘English-Irish’ where Brady uses ‘Anglo-Irish’ out of deference to the valid objections raised repeatedly by Steven Ellis to the use of the invented and value-laden term ‘Anglo-Irish’ to describe the population of English descent resident in Ireland at the outset of the sixteenth century. I use the term ‘English-Irish’ because this was the sixteenth-century rendering in English of the Latin description ‘Anglo-Hibernici’. When treating of the later sixteenth century, I use ‘Old English’ to describe these same people because this was the term that came into use at that time.

These letters hint at a fantastic scheme to bring most of Munster into the hands of Leicester, Walsingham, Philip Sidney and their associates the details of which were conveyed orally by Greville.
