It also quotes the commissions and traces the regiment into the present Royal Irish Regiment and others most notably 92e Infanterie de France and The United States Marine Corps. It is necessary to quote the Treaty of Limerick as it is germaine to the arguement that Ireland never transferred it Royal Stuart Soverignity to the Orange Prince or the later Guelph to Windsor Dynasty. Cusack's History Page Ireland is a Seperate Island Kingdom at British Constitutional Law The Pope Adrian IV. [An Englishman] angered by the refusal of the Celtic Archbishop of Armagh to release the Bishopric of Dublin to Canterbury issued the following Bull. "Ad preces meas illustri Regi Angelorum Henrico II concessit [Adrianus] et dedit Hiberniam jure haereditario possidendam, sicut literae ipsius testantur in hodiernum diem.Nam omnes insulae de jure antiquo ex donatione Constantini, qui eam fundavit et donavit, dicuntur ad Romanam Eccliesiam pertinere. Thus the Roman Pontiff's jealousy of the direct Desert Transmission of Christianity to the Irish Celtic Church led to the Lie of the 'Donation of Constantine' being used to illegally give away Ireland. In 1152, the religious see of Dublin opted to become an Irish archbishopric, spurning the ecclesiastical rule of the Archbishop of Canterbury in England. Shortly after, when Henry II became King of England, the idea of invading Ireland resurfaced apparently as it had during the previous reigns of William the Conqueror and Henry I. Ecclesiastic reaction to the loss of the see of Dublin was taken on by Pope Adrian, at the insistence of the envoys from Canterbury, who invested Henry and his successors the right to rule Ireland and to bring about religious reformation there. However Henry II was occupied at the outset of his career in securing his hold on England itself, and any plans of Irish invasion were on hold [maps of Ireland Computer Site] Thus was laid the seeds and right of King Henry VIII and the Irish Parliament to dismiss the Papacy's temporality over Ireland, using the Crown Servants St Leger and Sir Thomas Cusack in an effort to create a unified nation under 'Surrender and Grant' polices and using the monastic lands as inducements to the Irish Rio'gh Beig [Minor Kings]. The Irish RC Hierarchy denying that branch of the Christian Church’s part in the legitimisation and encouragement of the Invasion of Ireland has issued much terminological inexactatude. See on web CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA Pope Adrian IV. It is possible that the Cusacks as persons of the Blood of the Kings of Frankia occupied Killeen before the invasion in the part of an Embassy Demnse granted to the Holy Roman Empire of Charles the Great. Or the Cusacks took refuge as Carolingian refugees before the invasion in already familiar territory. Lorraine being behind Flemish Lands Cusacks could be described as Flemings. This self called Papal Lordship of Ireland is one of the Root Causes of the present troubled state of Ireland. It did not end until King Henry VIII and St Leger and Sir Thomas Cusack enacted in the Irish Parliament recognising King Henry VIII as King of Ireland and the leader of the Church of Ireland. The position ab initio of King Henry II and Ireland viz a viz Parliamentary Rule by consent is not clear to me. I do consider that the times were such that an early ‘Consilium Regis’ was to be Ireland’s direct contact, under the papal authority [assumed] by Rome. Much vehement hot air has been expended in the 20th XV., by clergy of the very recent Roman Catholic Church denying this ‘papal grant’ of Ireland. It would be of interest to read for references between Henry II’s, and Henry VIII’s Reigns in the official Rolls of the Kingdoms and the Vatican. From memory I know of King John at Runnemede and the number of similar charters issued afterwards by him and King Henry III. From memory the Declaration at Oxford [date 12 3?4?] Henry III. Makes reference to parliaments to be called thrice yearly in England and Ireland, and there was a parliament outside Dublin at Castle Dermot a very few years later thus establishing the existence the Irish Parliament as an Institution. However these decisions were later set aside by the King with Papal Blessing and approbition. {Source memory read 1970 by me parliaments ‘meant parliaments’ separate for the English Kingdom and the Irish Papal Lordship}. Sir Walter de Cusack of Geraldstown in 1375 was fined 300 shillings for not attending Parliament at Kilkenney and was summoned to Parliament in January 1376 in Dublin.Irish Genaelogist Vol 6 no 2.

Comment could this amendment be something partially to do with the totally broken, or never implemented civil provisions of the treaty [ie. by England]? This treaty was intended in its core and from the start to transfer sovereignty by the implementation of conditions. I have outlined in bold the sections which would have to be implemented for the separate sovereignty of the Kingdom of Ireland to so transfer. Viz 1. 7. 10. 12. These provisions were not implemented and so the Axial Treaty of Limerick which was intended to transfer the Sovereignty of Ireland to the Orange Prince never came into being. Therefore Sovereignty did not pass to the Orange Prince. The best consequence for the Orange Prince was that he became the ‘de facto government of Ireland’, the worst for him he became as a private subject in Ireland guilty of Sedition, Rebellion and many felonies. De Jure he never [by any argument] was sovereign in Ireland. Queen Anne tried to rectify the situation, but nothing came of her efforts, and the escort of "The Kings Royal Irish Guards" assambled on the French Coast to escort her Brother the Lawful King of the Three Kingdoms' never left France with him. By the same and more arguments, in the face of Queen Anne’s repentant efforts to restore her lineage to the Thrones of the Three Kingdoms The Whig Conspirators INGLORIOUS REVOLUTION OF 1688 further separated the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Ireland from the Guelph to Windsor dynasty [or dynasties]. This is not to impugn their sovereignty over England or Scotland. In Ireland icba The Landed; fiscal; and above all Religious Misbehaviours of the Dutch Prince’s dynasty and the Guelph Whig appointed successors in the Stuart Kingdom of Ireland had the effect of totally preventing the sovereignty of Ireland passing to the monarchs regnant since in England and Scotland. The authority claimed for these dynasties is wrecked on the Rock called the ‘Treaty Stone’ in Limerick Town. The Army of the Kingdom of Ireland divided as follows 500 went to France on the boats which arrived provisioned to continue the war the days after the Treaty was signed. 1400 left the colours to return home under the assurances of the Treaty. 7 joined the Colours of the Prince of Orange [and some more later it appears including Lutterel] The fact that the Army of Ireland continued in being in St Germaine en Laye even as a Guarde de Corps of King JamesII, and that it continued its resistance in arms at various successful battles against the Guelph dynasty the Kings Royal Irish guards of Lt Col Nicholas Cusack [founded29 May1662, from Cusack’s Regt which under Col George Cusack its founder[Innisboffin 26Apr1653] had joined Charles Stewarts little brigade strength Spanish Subsidised Army in Flanders6 July 1656 during the English Republican Army’s Interregnum Rule of the Kingdom of Ireland].

John Adams inspected the unit and carped that their uniforms were red and white, not continental green, but Jones was probably pleased to have a disciplined, trained force for his ship. Icba [NB. The American colonies were not bound to the INGLORIOUS REVOLUTION OF 1688 in any case.] There was no American Revolution de Jure. A Cusack [from memory] fought there in the French Army as well. And Cusicks fought as members of the Tesquora Clan of the Iriquois nation on the American Colonists side. The presence of the Army of the Stuart De Jure Sovereign on the American colony’s side [albeit en Service de France] gave further de Jure legitimacy to the American colonists in founding their state sovereign. The Act of Union [1800] I have read. It seems to be watertight. And in its language it is. But King Henry IX. sovereign of the Three Kingdoms was alive at the time. It does not bear his signature as the de Jure Monarch of the Kingdom of Ireland. NOT BEARING KING HENRY IX’S SIGNATURE THE PURPORTED ACT OF UNION IS VOID., by reason of its purpose ‘to alter and transfer sovereignty of the Kingdom of Ireland. King George III was acting 'Ultra Vires' in signing it. [It is to be noted that the Irish Brigade including The King’s Royal Irish Guards under Col Walsh Serrant returned to the British Isles at the invitation of King George III. The subsequent scandalous treatment of this regiment which returned as the 5th Regiment according to the National Archives at Kew, [with its Battle Honours over the Three Grenadier Guards Regts and the Royal Navy] is shown by it being hidden by disbandment into the Irish Regiments mainly The Royal Irish Fusiliers in the Napoleonic Wars. The Royal Irish Fusiliers captured the first eagle in the Peninsular Wars and all the absorbing Regiments are now in the Royal Irish Regiment, which demonstrably has the right to The Irish Brigade Battle Honours so embarrassing to the English Establishment. ARGUEABLY The Reigning Dynasty did not become fully de Jure for the Two Kingdoms of Scotland and England until 1807 when the de Cardinal King of Scotland AND England AND Ireland died and his successors acknowledged they had no wish to maintain a claim for a British Crown. The reigning dynasty remained felonious in Ireland including Northern Ireland until the defeat of the Provisional Irish Republican Army caused the Good Friday Agreement to come to the fore. It is however not clear whether its provisions have been implemented and so the Protestant Rebels against their Lawful Stuart Government of Ireland, by resisting its implementation are in their normal continuous state of seditious rebellion. It is no wonder that Queen Elizabeth II rushed to declare Newry a City as the acceptance of that Honour from her hands gave her rule a legitimacy it never had. If the provisions of the Good Friday Agreement do come into play, Queen Elizabeth II. Shall have been taken on the first steps toward securing an honest and lawful presence for her dynasty in this island of Ireland. If not the Ulster Ascendancy arguably at law remains in felonious Rebellion and Sedition with England’s Whig based establishment as a powerful and obdurate ally. Michael Patrick Cusack.

Colonel George Cusack had served with his regiment in the army of the Duke of Lorraine, but went over to the Spaniards when Duke Francis went over to the French, though only, it would appear, after two more years in the French service with his regiment [I think he did not change sides until Charles II before he was restored [circa April 1661] to the English Throne ordered the change over so that he Charles II would have a strong Irish Regimental presence in Flanders next Holland, to if necessary invade, and later after his restoration on to counter any attempt by the English arrivistes of the Republican Revolution to rebel against him] George Cusack received a commission as colonel of an Irish Regiment in the Low Countries on 6 July 1656, and it explicitly stated that he brought his regiment with him. Cusack was pensioned as a disbanded colonel on 21 June 1662. Charles II's action regarding the transfer of Irish Regiments [if true] was not in France's interest. c. 1653.
