Notes
From 1616, Buckingham established a dominant influence in Irish affairs, beginning with the appointment of his [relative], Sir Oliver St John, as Lord Deputy, 1616–1622. Thence, he acquired control of the Irish customs farm (1618), dominated Irish patronage at court, particularly with the sale of Irish titles and honours, and (from 1618) began to build substantial Irish estates for himself, his family and clients—with the aid of a plantation lobby, composed of official clients in Dublin.
