Sidney, Sir Henry (1529–86), lord deputy 1565–7, 1568–71, 1575–8. In his first government Sidney planned colonization and centralization. He defeated Shane O'Neill, but earned the lasting hatred of Black Tom Butler of Ormond. Sidney's second deputyship was intended to consolidate the first. The attainder of Shane O'Neill was passed, giving the crown title to most of Ulster, but otherwise his parliament was frustrated by Old English opposition. Meanwhile his attempts to abolish coyne and livery, establish provincial presidencies, and promote colonies brought widespread rebellion. The big idea of Sidney's third government was ‘composition’. He achieved agreements in Connacht and Munster, but his high‐handed tactics with the Palesmen saw representations to the queen which rendered him a lame duck.

Sidney's administration has been presented as representing a new departure in the government of Ireland. In fact Sidney's reputation largely rests on effective propaganda: a bombastic memoir by himself, and the brilliant series of woodcuts of his third deputyship by John Derrick.
