patria
patria, the Roman concept of the fatherland, entered Irish political discourse under the impact of the Renaissance. First used by a Protestant radical, Edward Walshe, in 1545, it increasingly bolstered the claims of Catholic reactionaries, notably James Fitzmaurice. In 1579 he combined the concepts of fighting for Ireland and Catholicism in the second Desmond revolt. The same combination was used by Hugh O'Neill in a vain attempt to rally Old English support during the Nine Years War, and was further elaborated by subsequent accounts of the period by Lombard, O'Sullivan Beare, and O'Clery (the Annals of the Four Masters, see literature in Irish). Patria emerged again as a slogan of the Confederate Catholics in the 1640s.
