 Desmond's Concise History of Ireland
Patrick conducted his mission from Armagh (which ironically is now part of Protestant Northern Ireland) and over a period of 30 years, converted much of the population to Christianity, developed a native clergy, appointed bishops, established dioceses, held church councils, and fostered the growth of monasticism.
This period, the Dark Ages or Early Middle Ages (410-800), was the era of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, the invasions of the barbarians, and the triumph of Christianity.
In Ireland, by early in the 14th Century, the Norman-Irish lords -- descendants of the original Normans who installed feudalism -- were actively resisting two of feudalism's principal tenets, the strong monarchy and the system of land ownership that fostered such power in the Crown.

 The Privy Council : Directgov - Guide to government
The Privy Council was formerly the chief source of executive power in the State, but as the system of Cabinet government developed in the 18th century, the Cabinet took on much of its role.
Today, the Privy Council is the main way in which ministers advise the Queen on the approval of Orders in Council, such as those granting Royal Charters or enacting subordinate legislation, or on the issue of royal proclamations such as the summoning or dissolving of Parliament.
There are a number of Privy Council committees, of which the Cabinet is technically one, normally comprising ministers with the relevant policy interest, such as those dealing with legislation from the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Except for the Judicial Committee, membership is confined to members of the administration of the day.

 CONSTITUTIONAL PROPOSALS FOR NORTHERN IRELAND 1973
The true interests of the whole community in Northern Ireland require that the majority should not fail in fairness and generosity towards all their fellow citizens and that the minority should play a truly constructive part which it is the United Kingdom Government's firm determination should be made available to them.
But Northern Ireland has been the focus of speculation and uncertainty for a prolonged period already, and there can be little doubt that as long as such uncertainty continues to exist, it will be exploited by those who seek to prey upon the fears of the communities.
Those who have served on the Northern Ireland Commission since direct rule was introduced have made a signal contribution to the life of the community; but during this interim period, and so as to assist an easy transition, the Secretary of State will ask the present members to make way for representatives from the Assembly.

Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England and Lord of Ireland (later King of Ireland) from 22 April 1509 until his death.
The Lords Spiritual, as members of the clergy with seats in the House of Lords were known, were for the first time outnumbered by the Lords Temporal.
In 1542, Henry changed the title "Lord of Ireland" to "King of Ireland" after being advised that many Irish people regarded the Pope as the true head of their country, with the Lord acting as a mere representative.

 Scottish clan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
In fosterage, the chief's children were brought up by favoured members of the leading clan gentry, whose children in turn were brought up by other favoured members of the clan.
From the late 16th century the Scottish Privy Council, recognising the need for co-operation, required clan leaders to provide bonds of surety for the conduct of anyone on their territory and to regularly attend at Edinburgh, encouraging a tendency to become absentee landlords.
Those who have the chief's surname are deemed to be clan members, and anyone who offers allegiance to the chief by joining his clan society or wearing his clan tartan is considered a member unless disallowed by the chief, individually or by name group.
