Catalogue description Secretaries of State: State Papers Ireland, Folios

Extents and valors (valuations) of the possessions of dissolved religious houses in Ireland, and those attainted of high treason, including Gerald, Earl of Kildare (1540-1583); revenue and other accounts (1536-1585); and proceedings of the Commissioners for Claims in Munster (1588). The documents were omitted from the main series of State Papers for Ireland (SP 60, SP 61, SP 62 and SP 63) mainly owing to their larger size.

Nearly all the records are calendared in the following volumes: Calendar of State Papers relating to Ireland, of the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth, 1509-1573, preserved in the State Paper Department of Her Majesty's Public Record Office, ed Hans Claude Hamilton (London, 1860) Calendar of State Papers relating to Ireland, of the reign of Elizabeth, 1574-1585, preserved in Her Majesty's Public Record Office, ed Hans Claude Hamilton (London, 1867) Calendar of State Papers, relating to Ireland, of the reign of Elizabeth, 1586-1588, July, preserved in Her Majesty's Public Record Office, ed Hans Claude Hamilton (London, 1877) Calendar of State Papers, relating to Ireland, of the reign of Elizabeth, 1588, August-1592, September, preserved in Her Majesty's Public Record Office, ed Hans Claude Hamilton (London, 1885).
