		Ireland in 1590 was largely under Tudor rule, i.e., under the rule of the English crown.

		The reality that the Irish war was a desperate struggle against a skilful enemy was by now brought home to the English and they were determined to defeat the Irish with the overwhelming power of their resources.
		The Nine Years War was to be the last stand Ireland as a nation made under her own laws against England and English laws.
