The Origin of the Regium Donum
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 February 2009
Extract
The Regium Donum was a pension paid by the Crown to the Presbyterian Ministers in Ireland. It began in the reign of Charles II., having been promised by that monarch about the middle of October, 1672. After being discontinued in the latter part of this reign, and throughout the reign of James II., it was revived and augmented by William III., again to be discontinued in the latter part of the reign of Queen Anne, and revived for the second time by George I. From this period it was continued until commuted by the Act which disestablished the Irish Church in 1869.
