The Flemings became Gaelicized and exerted their efforts to repel later invaders.They supported the Stuart cause and believed the Stuart family to be the rightful rulers of England. However, when King Charles Stuart was executed and Oliver Cromwell assumed leadership of England by military force, the Flemings and others who were Royalists, were stripped of their lands and titles in the confiscations that followed the broken Treaty of Limerick.
