Title

The EARL OF TYRONE'S REPLY.

Date

22 Dec 1597

Description

"The Answer of the Earl of Tyrone to the Articles prescribed unto him by the Earl of Ormond, Lord Lieutenant General, and his assistants the Lord Bishop of Meath and Sir Geoffrey Fenton," 22 December 1597.

"To the 1st he agreeth, so as the like be observed by [her] Majesty's subjects towards himself and all those [that] are in action with him.

"To the 2nd he agreeth, saying only if any do stay with them of Leinster, contrary to the ["his" in the copy found at MS 621.] commandment, that they be used no otherwise than as they be with whom they remain. He will send for all, and if any tarry, he leaveth them to the Lord General's discretion.

"To the 3rd he agreeth, so as none now depending on his truce be received or entertained by the Lord Lieutenant General or the State during this truce without his consent.

"To the 4th he saith he is contented that her Majesty's subjects shall buy necessaries in Ulster, so as his men and dependants may have the like liberty to buy and sell among her Highness' subjects; and that none of this side shall take meat ["or drink" is added in the copy found at MS 621.] forcibly in the Pale.

"To the 5th he agreeth, so as he may have redress within ten days after the complaint made thereof to the Lord Lieutenant General or to the Lords Justices; and the like toleration to be used towards the Earl and his dependants until ten days after notice given him, that redress be had of either side, [except?] wheresoever any track shall be left on unmanured or uninhabited land.

"To the 6th he saith he will accomplish the same, if any cause of that weight come to his hands worth the sending during the truce.

"To the 7th he saith he will do his best endeavour therein, as near as he may in discretion.

"To the 8th he agreeth, so as the wood be cut on this side of the water next Ardmaghe; and for any other thing, that they first agree with the owners for the things they want, and procure a man of the Earl's to go with them when they look for any necessaries, and not themselves to go into any part of the country not being accompanied with the Earl's men.

"To the 9th he agreeth."

Signed: Hughe Tirone.
