The 1641 Depositions (Trinity College Dublin, MSS 809-841) are witness
testimonies mainly by Protestants, but also by some Catholics, from
all social backgrounds, concerning their experiences of the 1641 Irish
rebellion. The testimonies document the loss of goods, military
activity, and the alleged crimes committed by the Irish insurgents,
including assault, stripping, imprisonment and murder. This body of
material is unparalleled anywhere in early modern Europe, and provides
a unique source of information for the causes and events surrounding
the 1641 rebellion and for the social, economic, cultural, religious,
and political history of seventeenth-century Ireland, England and
Scotland.
