==Question==
Do you know why, apart from John's initial encounter, that he was so unpopular with the Irish and possibly Anglo-Irish? Is there any evidence of him raising too much taxes or doing anything else which may have turned the populace against him and given his critics more ammunition? --[[User:134.225.163.117|134.225.163.117]] 08:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

"Theobald Walter, William De Burgh, Gilbert Pipard and Bertram De Verdon" were not English but Norman. English and Scottish Colonials went to Ireland in the Early 1600's as part of the Plantation.  As in England/Wales and Scotland the Normans became rulers/administators rather than large scale colonial settlement.
