Answer 1

part of Frosty's answer is right, but the move to put scots into N. Ireland was done by James I, the man who authorized the KJV Bible. Lizzy I had nothing to do with it.

Answer 2

Ulster was part of Catholic Ireland until the reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603) when, after suppressing three Irish rebellions, the Crown confiscated lands in Ireland and settled the Scots Presbyterians in Ulster. Another rebellion in 1641–1651, brutally crushed by Oliver Cromwell, resulted in the settlement of Anglican Englishmen in Ulster. Subsequent political policy favoring Protestants and disadvantaging Catholics encouraged further Protestant settlement in Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland did not separate from the South until William Gladstone presented, in 1886, his proposal for home rule in Ireland. The Protestants in the North feared domination by the Catholic majority. Industry, moreover, was concentrated in the North and dependent on the British market. When World War I began, civil war threatened between the regions. Northern Ireland, however, did not become a political entity until the six counties accepted the Home Rule Bill of 1920. This set up a semiautonomous parliament in Belfast and a Crown-appointed governor advised by a cabinet of the prime minister and 8 ministers, as well as a 12-member representation in the House of Commons in London.

Answer 3

The first English presence in Ireland was in the 12th century. The Irish kings had been fighting amongst themselves and one, Daimait MacMurchada (who was losing), asked some Anglo-Norman noblemen - led by Richard "Strongbow" de Clare - to help. de Clare and his allies thus invaded Ireland in 1166, ostensibly to help the Irish king. That pretence didn't last long. Within a few years, the English were acting completely independently and had taken much of the eastern part of Ireland, including Dublin. One of the barons, John de Courcy, invaded and conquered the province of Ulster.

The Anglo-Norman barons didn't have free reign for long. King Henry II of England was concerned about the growing power of these barons. He petitioned the pope for permission to go to Ireland. This he received in 1171. Pope Adrian IV granted Henry the "Laudabiliter," granting him control of Ireland and Henry invaded soon after to assert that control. The invasion largely succeeded and Henry divided much of the Irish territories into English-controlled earldoms. One of these included Ulster. The Normans remained in control of Ireland, including Northern Ireland until 1254.

Northern eire is a rustic with a devolved government. we are no longer controlled, owned, or ruled by using the different united states. NI is definitely one of the 4 constituent countries of the united kingdom. the england does not desire to attend to us, in reality there have been incredibly some opinion polls performed in Britain that instruct that the final public of the British public the two help a United eire, or do no longer care. in basic terms a small proportion (around 30%) needed NI to proceed being area of the united kingdom.
