Nuair a d’athraigh Éirní VIII, Rí Shasana, stádas na hÉireann ó thiarnacht go ríocht, de réir chóras riarachán Shasana, sa bhliain 1541 thug se i nganfhios do féin gléas láidir idé-eolaíoch dá ‘ghéillsinigh’ neamhghéilliúla in Éirinn. Páipéar taighde é seo a choimisiúnaigh Ionad an Léinn Éireannaigh, Ollscoil Náisiúnta an hÉireann, Gaillimh.
