J. Stuart Keogh. French silver, Jacobite pen? Propaganda from Dublin, 1689-90 by History Hub published on 2014-09-25T18:26:45Z Recording of a paper by J. Stuart Keogh (University of Dundee) at the 2014 Tudor and Stuart Ireland Conference. About the paper: French silver, Jacobite pen? Propaganda from Dublin, 1689-90 If William of Orange’s skill in using printing to press his claims to the crowns of Britain during the 'Glorious Revolution' has long been recognised, his father-in-law’s subsequent propaganda efforts have received less attention. This is especially so in the 1689-1690 period regarding the documents produced in Ireland. The aim of this paper is to shed light on Jacobite propaganda both in Ireland and the wider Three Kingdom context in this period. It will notably show ways in which Jacobite propaganda was actively supported by Louis XIV of France who attempted to influence its content. The paper looks at Jacobite efforts to print propaganda material both for consumption in Ireland and distribution in Scotland and England. Consideration is also given to how the Williamite regime sought to crack down on this activity and prevent its circulation. The 2014 Tudor and Stuart Ireland conference was generously supported by UCD School of History and Archives, UCD Research, Marsh's Library, Graduate Studies at NUI Maynooth, and the Department of History at NUI Maynooth.
