First sentence: At the beginning of the Tudor period Ireland was a patchwork of some 90 principal 'lordships' or 'countries' of which about a third were ruled by lords and captains of Anglo-Irish extraction and the rest by Gaelic chieftains, the so-called 'mere Irish' (i.e. full-blooded Irish, from the Latin merus, 'pure').
