Annotation

According to the point of view established in Russian historiography, Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, is a pioneer in the creation of the 17th century in England. royal regular army. Having received the post of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1632, he began to implement this project to strengthen the personal power of King Charles I. Turning to English-language sources and monographs, the author sets himself the goal of refuting this thesis and conducts a comprehensive study of the Stuart army stationed on the Emerald Isle at the beginning of the 17th century. It concludes that the need for a significant number of permanent units in the “third kingdom” arose back in 1604, immediately after the suppression of the Tyrone uprising. In this regard, the regiments themselves, by the time Sir Thomas assumed the office of Lord Lieutenant, had almost thirty years of history. The author divides this history into several periods, highlights their main characteristics, and also notes the problems that the government faced at that time in the process of building permanent armed forces.
