About this book

The first expansive study of how when the Popish Plot of 1678 came to light, fears of an Irish Catholic rebellion amongst Ireland's uneasy Protestant elite, who dominated over the Catholic majority population, were manipulated in England in an attempt to block the Catholic Duke of York from succeeding to the throne.

Reviews

"John Gibney's account... is based on a fuller review of the evidence than has usually been attempted, and therefore it carries conviction." - Toby Barnard, Hertford College, University of Oxford
