Colonel Thomas Blood and the Restoration Political Scene
Thomas Blood was born in Sarney, county Meath in Ireland around the year 1618. The circumstances surrounding his early life are obscure but his father was said to have been a blacksmith and ironworker of ‘no inferior credit’. Blood's first real appearance in the historical record occurs during the survey taken in Ireland in the period 1654–6. In this he is listed as a protestant who had owned some 220 acres of land at Sarney since at least 1640. In between these dates, however, Blood had evidently undertaken some sort of military service. The evidence concerning this military service is both slight and contradictory and there is at least the possibility that his later claims about an army career were partly bogus, or certainly inflated to suit his particular company.
The Irish Viceroyalty in the Restoration Period
In 1660 someone transcribed into the ‘Town Book’ of Belfast a copy of ‘Verses presented to General Monck’: Advance, George Monck, and Monck St George shall be, England's restorer to its liberty, Scotland's protector, Ireland's president, Reducing all to a free parliament; And if thou dost intend the other thing, Go on, and all shall cry God save the king.
