Excerpt from The Closing of the Irish Parliament

Poynings' Law was intended only to restrain the nobles and the dwellers within the Pale, which embraced the counties of Dublin, Louth, Meath, and Kildare. The Irish outside the Pale, also, were in a state of insurrection, but for the correction of these King Henry invoked the aid of Pope Alexander VI., who appointed a commission composed of the Arch bishop oi Canterbury, and the Bishops of London, Durham, and Bath and Wells, to consult with the Irish Bishops, and to administer the censures of the Church on any who persisted in rebellion.
