- Protestant_Ascendancy abstract "The Protestant Ascendancy, usually known simply as the Ascendancy, was the political, economic, and social domination of Ireland by a minority of great landowners, Protestant clergy, and members of the professions, all members of the Established Church (the Church of Ireland and Church of England) between the 17th century and the early 20th century. The Ascendancy is widely seen as excluding primarily Roman Catholics, but this can be misleading, as members of the Presbyterian and other Protestant denominations, along with non-Christians such as the Jews, were also excluded politically and socially. Until the Reform Acts even the majority of Irish Protestants were effectively excluded from the Ascendancy, being too poor to vote. In general, the privileges of the Ascendancy were resented by Irish Catholics, the majority of the population.The gradual dispossession of large holdings belonging to several hundred native Roman Catholic landowners in Ireland took place in various stages from the reigns of the Roman Catholic Queen Mary and her Protestant half-sister Elizabeth I onwards. Unsuccessful revolts against English rule in 1595–1603 and 1641–1653 and then the 1689–91 Williamite Wars caused much Irish land to be confiscated by the Crown, and then sold to people who were thought loyal, most of whom were English and Protestant. English soldiers and traders became the new ruling class, as its richer members were elevated to the Irish House of Lords and eventually controlled the Irish House of Commons (see Plantations of Ireland).From the 1790s the phrase became used by the main two identities in Ireland: Catholics, who were mostly nationalists, used the phrase as a "focus of resentment", while for Protestants, who were mostly unionists, it gave a "compensating image of lost greatness".".
