Description

The Adventurers for Irish land transformed England’s trade and government finances in the mid-seventeenth century, laying the foundations of the British Empire and modern fiscal state. This is the first book to recognise the key role of the Adventurers and the centrality of Ireland to the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.
