Oxford. He commanded a See also:ship against the See also:Spanish See also:Armada in 1588, and is said to have served under See also:Drake in his expedition of 1595. Having seen further service abroad, he was sent to Ireland at the end of 1598, and was appointed by the See also:earl of See also:Essex to the governorship of See also:Carrickfergus. When Essex returned to See also:England, Chichester rendered valuable service under See also:Mountjoy in the See also:war against the rebellious earl of See also:Tyrone, and in 16o1 Mountjoy recommended him to See also:Cecil in terms of the highest praise as the fittest See also:person to be entrusted with the See also:government of See also:Ulster. On the 15th of See also:October 1604 Chichester was appointed lord-deputy of Ireland He announced his policy in a See also:proclamation wherein he abolished the semi-feudal rights of the native Irish chieftains, substituting for them fixed dues, while their tenants were to become dependent " wholly and immediately upon his
See also:majesty." Tyrone and other Irish See also:clan chieftains resented this See also:summary interference with their See also:ancient social organization, and their resistance was strengthened by the See also:ill-advised See also:measures against the See also:Roman Catholics which Chichester was compelled to take by the orders of the See also:English ministers. He himself was moderate and enlightened in his views on this See also:matter, and it was through his See also:influence that the harshness of the See also:anti-See also:Catholic policy was relaxed in 1607. Meantime his difficulties with the Irish tribal leaders remained unsolved. But in 1607, by " the See also:flight of the Earls " (see O'See also:NEILL), he was relieved of the presence of the two formidable Ulster chieftains, the earls of Tyrone and See also:Tyrconnell. Chichester's policy for dealing with the situation thus created was to See also:divide the lands of the fugitive earls among Irishmen of See also:standing and See also:character; but the See also:plantation of Ulster as actually carried out was much less favourable and just to the native See also:population than the lord-deputy desired. In 1613 Chichester was raised to the See also:peerage as Baron Chichester of Belfast, and in the following See also:year he went to England to give an See also:account of the See also:state of Ireland. On his return to Ireland he again attempted to moderate the persecuting policy against the Irish Catholics which he was instructed to enforce; and although he was to some extent successful, it was probably owing to his opposition to this policy that he was recalled in See also:November 1614.
