DESCRIPTION:Montreal British History Seminar\n\n“‘Innocent’ Rebels?: The Bu
 tlers of Mountgarret and the Power of Patronage in Ascendancy Ireland”\n\n
 Collin Bonnell\n	PhD candidate in History\, Concordia University.\n\n\n	The 
 Butlers of Mountgarret\, an Old English family of Irish peers\, remained C
 atholic in the seventeenth century despite facing increasing levels of pol
 itical disenfranchisement and hostility. This environment had caused Richa
 rd Butler\, the 3rd Viscount of Mountgarret\, to join the Catholic revolt 
 of 1641. Yet\, despite this\, the Mountgarrets fared remarkably well durin
 g the confiscations\; many Catholic families who did not play a clear role
  in the revolt\, but lacked the Mountgarrets’ political connections\, fare
 d far worse. The family would survive the turbulent seventeenth century\, 
 eventually conforming to Anglicanism and joining the Protestant Ascendancy
  in the eighteenth century. This paper explores the Mountgarrets’ curious 
 experiences during this period\, and considers their ability to draw on th
 e patronage of their Ormond cousins to receive a more favorable restoratio
 n.\n\n \n\nNow in its 27th year\, the MBHS provides a forum for faculty an
 d graduate students sharing a research interest in any phase of British Hi
 story (very broadly defined). Papers of about 45-50 minutes or pre-circula
 ted papers are followed by discussion. For information\, please contact El
 izabeth Elbourne (elizabeth.elbourne [at] mcgill.ca) or Brian Lewis (brian
 .lewis [at] mcgill.ca). \n
