To understand the reasons for the Scots colonization of Ulster and the replantation in America it is necessary to look back three centuries in British history.

'VOLPONE, by Ben Jonson. 'EASTWARD HOE, by Chapman, Ben Jonson, and Marston. Ben Jonson's 'Volpone' was first acted in 1605; and on February 11, 1607, it appeared in print.
The head of the O'Neills had made his peace with the Tudors on the very day Queen Elizabeth died, and the tribal lands had been guaranteed to him in perpetuity. But within four years plots were set on foot by the central authorities, possibly acting in good faith, to dispossess him and the chief of the O'Donnells on a charge of treason; and in 1607 both fled to the Continent.
