Excerpt from The Closing of the Irish Parliament
Poynings' Law was intended only to restrain the nobles and the dwellers within the Pale, which embraced the counties of Dublin, Louth, Meath, and Kildare. The Irish outside the Pale, also, were in a state of insurrection, but for the correction of these King Henry invoked the aid of Pope Alexander VI., who appointed a commission composed of the Arch bishop oi Canterbury, and the Bishops of London, Durham, and Bath and Wells, to consult with the Irish Bishops, and to administer the censures of the Church on any who persisted in rebellion.

Excerpt from The Closing of the Irish Parliament
The first step towards the closing of the Irish Parliament was taken in the year 1494. A measure, known as Poynings' Law, was then enacted, whereby the Parliament of Ireland was forbidden to assemble until the Lord Deputy and his Council had first informed the King of the Acts which were proposed for adoption, and had received for those Acts the approval of his Majesty and his English Council, together with a licence, under the great seal of England, for the summoning of Parliament.
Poynings' Law was called forth by a daring insurrection on the part of the Irish Deputy (the Earl of Kildare) and his Parliament, by whom an impostor named Lambert Simnel was crowned as King Edward VI., at the Cathedral of Christ Church, Dublin. Simnel pretended to be the Earl of Warwick, who was head of the House of York, and a candidate for the Crown, in opposition to the reigning monarch, Henry VII.

Beyond examining the machinations of the British Parliament and its agents in Ireland, the author also considers the views of the Protestant Ascendancy, as well as the stances of the Irish Catholics and Roman Catholic clergy. Notably, the author examines the incentives offered to the Catholic Church in Ireland, including the possibility of state salaries for clergy and official recognition of Maynooth College.
