See also:KILKENNY, See also:STATUTE OF , the name given to a See also:body of See also:laws promulgated in 1366 with the See also:object of strengthening the See also:English authority in See also:Ireland. In 1361, when See also:Edward III. was on the English See also:throne, he sent one of his younger sons, Lionel, See also:duke of See also:Clarence, who was already married to an Irish heiress, to represent him in Ireland. From the English point of view the See also:country was in a most unsatisfactory See also:condition. Lawless and predatory, the English settlers were hardly distinguishable from the native Irish, and the authority of the English See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king over both had been reduced to vanishing point. In their efforts to See also:cope with the prevailing disorder Lionel and his advisers summoned a See also:parliament to meet at Kilkenny See also:early in 1366 and here the statute of Kilkenny was passed into See also:law. This statute was written in See also:Norman-See also:French, and nineteen of its clauses are merely repetitions of some ordinances which had been See also:drawn up at Kilkenny fifteen years earlier. It began by See also:relating how the existing See also:state of lawlessness was due to the malign See also:influence exercised by the Irish over the English, and, like Magna Carta, its first See also:positive See also:provision declared that the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church should be See also:free. As a See also:prime remedy for the prevailing evils all marriages between the two races were forbidden. Englishmen must not speak the Irish See also:tongue, nor receive Irish minstrels into their dwellings, nor even ride in the Irish See also:fashion; while to give or sell horses or See also:armour to the Irish was made a treasonable offence. Moreover English and not See also:Breton law was to be employed, and no Irishman could legally be receivd into a religious See also:house, nor presented to a See also:benefice. The statute also contained clauses for compelling the English settlers to keep the laws. For each See also:county four wardens of the See also:peace were to be appointed, while the sheriffs were to hold their tourns twice a See also:year and were not to oppress the See also:people by their exactions. An See also:attempt was made to prevent the See also:emigration of labourers, and finally the spiritual See also:arm was invoked to secure obedience to these laws by threats of See also:excommunication. The statute, although marking an interesting See also:stage in the See also:history of Ireland, had very little See also:practical effect.
