  The Flight Of The Earls.Net - Historical Documents
The earls of Tyrone and Tyrconnell, for their part, having negotiated a ‘treasonable contract’ with the Spanish, promising to renew rebellion in the event of a break-down in the Anglo-Spanish peace in return for a substantial pension, were compromised by the emergence of a well-placed informer.
Davies’ account of the Earl of Tyrone’s journey from Mellifont to Rathmullan is complemented by Tadhg O Cianain’s eyewitness account of the earls’ journey from Lough Swilly to the mouth of the Seine in France, offering a vivid picture of the actual departure of the earls for the continent in September 1607.
This was to be typified by the ‘Proclamation touching the Earls of Tyrone and Tyrconnell’ published by the government of King James I in London and sent to continental powers which derided the earls as a ‘packe of Rebels’ who had no justification for fleeing their native lands.

Salisbury, Robert Cecil, 1st earl of 1563–1612, English statesman; son of William Cecil, Baron Burghley.

His influence over James was due to his abilities, not, as in the case of the earl of Somerset and the 1st duke of Buckingham, to a personal ascendancy over the king.
