Numerous unofficial flags were used throughout its history, including: 1. Azure, a harp Or, stringed Argent, based on the Coat_of_arms_of_Ireland adopted in 1541 and much later to become the President_of_Ireland; 2. Vert, a harp Or, stringed Argent, the Leinster flag, used from the mid-17th century; and 3. Argent a saltire Gules, Saint Patrick's Flag, from 1783. The latter was integrated into the Union Flag, the first flag officialy used to represent Ireland. However, the second appears to have been the most popular and its Green_Ensign is debated as to whether it had official status or not.3 Represented by a Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.-->

The Kingdom of Ireland was the name given to the Irish state from 1541, by an act of the Parliament of Ireland. The new Monarch replaced the Lordship of Ireland, which had been created in 1171. King Henry VIII of England thus became the first King of Ireland since 1169.

Reason for creation The pope Adrian IV, an Englishman, granted the English monarchy the Island of Ireland as a feudal possession in the 12th century, which enabled the English monarchy to act as the ruler of Ireland; but nominally Ireland remained a papal overlordship. With the excommunication from the church of the king of England, Henry VIII of England, in 1533, the constitutional position of the English rule in Ireland became uncertain. Henry had broken away from the Pope and declared himself the head of the newly formed Church of England in order to procure a divorce, which the pope, Pope Clement VII, refused. As a result, Henry could no longer afford to recognize the Roman Catholic Church nominal sovereignty over Ireland. As a solution to this, Henry was proclaimed King of Ireland by a decree passed by the Parliament of Ireland in 1541.

In this fashion, the King of Ireland became occupied by the reigning King of England, thus placing the newly-formed Kingdom of Ireland in personal union with the Kingdom of England. In 1603 the throne of England became occupied by the King of Scotland, which eventually led to a Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707, when the parliaments of both kingdoms were combined into one sitting at the seat of the English parliament at Westminster in London. In 1801, the Irish and British parliaments were similarly combined producing the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Lord Deputy The Kingdom of Ireland was governed by an executive under the control of a Lord Deputy, which when held by senior nobles such as Thomas Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Sussex was elevated to Lord Lieutenant. In the absence of a Lord Deputy, lords justices ruled the part of Ireland under English occupation. While some Irishmen held the post, all lord deputies from 23 July 1534, when William Skeffington took office for the second time, were English noblemen.

Displayed over the 19th century King's Inns in Dublin. These arms of dominion are similar to the royal coat of arms before the union inasmuch as the arms of Ireland (the harp) form one quarter of the shield with the remaining quarters referring to the king's other realms: England, Scotland and Hanover.The kingdom was legislated for by the bicameral Parliament of Ireland, made up of the Irish House of Lords and the Irish House of Commons, and which almost always met in Dublin. The powers of the Irish parliament were restricted by a series of laws, notably Poynings' Law of 1492. Roman Catholics and later Presbyterians were for much of its later history excluded from membership of the Irish parliament. In the eighteenth century parliament met in a new, purpose-designed parliament house (the first purpose-designed two-chamber parliament house in the world) in College Green in the heart of Dublin.

Grattan's Parliament Some restrictions were repealed in 1782 in what came to be known as the Constitution of 1782. Parliament in this period came to be known as Grattan's Parliament, after one of the principal Irish political opposition leaders of the period, Henry Grattan. In 1788-89 a Regency crisis was caused when George III went insane, and Grattan wanted to appoint his son (later George IV) as Regent of Ireland; however the king recovered before this could be effected.

Union of kingdoms By the Act of Union 1800 of the Irish Parliament, the Kingdom of Ireland merged in 1801 with the Kingdom of Great Britain to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The Irish Parliament ceased to exist, though the executive, presided over by the Lord Lieutenant, remained in place until 1922. The Act was preceded by the failed Irish Rebellion of 1798 and France invasion of 1798, and was the subject of much controversy, involving much bribery of the Irish MPs to ensure its passage.

Irish Free State 1922 In 1922, 26 counties left the United Kingdom and formed the Irish Free State. Under the 1922 Constitution, the King became King in Ireland. This was changed by the Royal Titles Act, 1927, by which the King explicitly became king of all his dominions in their own right, becoming fully King of Ireland instead. Though Kevin O'Higgins, Vice-President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State (i.e., deputy prime minister), did suggest resurrecting the 'Kingdom of Ireland' as a Monarchy in the Irish Free State to link Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State, with the King of Ireland being crowned in a public ceremony in Phoenix Park in Dublin, the idea was abandoned after O'Higgins' assassination by anti-Anglo-Irish Treaty Irish Republican Army (1922-1969) men in 1927.

An Act of 1542 that confirmed Henry's kingdom and its link to the English crown, and which had mistakenly been left on the statute books, is being repealed in the Republic of Ireland in 2007 as part of a wholesale review of historic Irish law.
