The new departure proposed a model in which all inhabitants of the Ireland would form a single community of obedient subjects and the government of the Ireland would be conducted under the jurisdiction of the Crown. The earlier concept of co-obedience of existence and disobedient communities with the Crown\u2019s overlordship and a dual system of government was dropped. In effect this made the subjugation of the whole Ireland an objective of policy.<\/p>\n
A key element was the acceptance of the Crown\u2019s rights in the area of title to land and judicial jurisdiction. A special legal code for adapting Gaelic and English practice was envisaged.<\/p>\n
Some Anglo-Norman feudal holdings had reverted to the Crown by feudal inheritance by reason of the failure of the male line but were taken over by expanding Gaelic areas. King Henry VIII made it clear he would hold out for the rights of the Crown, which would have entailed surrender of large parts of the territories of powerful Gaelic families. Surrey became convinced that the only way to secure the subjugation of Ireland was by conquest.<\/p>\n
After the end of Surrey\u2019s mission, the most economical course was found to be to appoint the Butlers of Ormond as Lord Lieutenant. However, for practical and political reasons, the Earl of Kildare was allowed to return to Ireland. He had been detained during Surrey\u2019s administration, but in 1524 was reappointed lord deputy with Ormond as treasurer.<\/p>\n
In 1527 Henry VIII appointed his illegitimate son Richmond as Lord Lieutenant in absentia and delegated his authority to a Secret Council of Tree. Following a number of other iterations Kildare was restored again as Lord Deputy in 1532.<\/p>\n
At the same time Thomas Cromwell rapidly rose to prominence and a new phase in political reformation in Ireland began. This ultimately involved displacement of the Kildares and other Irish magnates as lord deputies with English appointees. After the Fitzgerald\/Kildare rebellion their lands were forfeited. Although many of the rebels were pardoned, they were greatly weakened.<\/p>\n\n
