1) The document analyzes the aristocracy in Ireland in the 17th century, including their geographic origins and land holdings. 2) It finds that most of the Irish peerage came from England or Scotland, rather than being long-established Irish families. Their primary land holdings were concentrated in Ulster. 3) By the late 17th century, some families had significantly increased their land holdings in Ulster, while others saw little change or even declines.
