In 1639, on the outbreak of the Scottish See also:war, he initiated a See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme of raising a force in See also:Ireland to attack See also:Argyll in See also:Scotland and recover 'Kintyre (or Cantire), a See also:district formerly possessed by his See also:family; but the See also:plan, discouraged and ridiculed by See also:Strafford, miscarried.' Soon afterwards he returned to Ireland, and sought in 1641 to create a diversion, together with See also:Ormonde, for See also:Charles I. against the See also:parliament
.
He joined in his schemes See also:Lord Slane and See also:Sir Phelim O'See also:Neill, later leaders of the See also:rebellion, but on the outbreak of the rebellion in the autumn he dissociated himself from his See also:allies and retired to his See also:castle at Dunluce
.
His suspicious conduct, however, and his Roman Catholicism, caused him to be regarded as an enemy by the See also:English party
.
In May 1642 he was captured at Dunluce Castle by the See also:parliamentary See also:general See also:Robert See also:Munro, and imprisoned at See also:Carrickfergus
.
Escaping thence he joined the See also:queen at See also:York; and subsequently, having proceeded to Ireland to negotiate a cessation of hostilities, he was again captured with his papers in May 1643 and confined at Carrickfergus, thence once more escaping and making his way to See also:Kilkenny, the headquarters of the Roman Catholic confedera-

On the 26th of See also:January 1644 Antrim was created a See also:marquess
.
He returned to Kilkenny in See also:February, took the See also:oath of association, and was made a member of the See also:council and See also:lieutenant-general of the forces of the Catholic confederacy
.
The confederacy, however, giving him no support in his projects, he threw up his See also:commission, and with Ormonde's help despatched about 1600 men in See also:June to Montrose's assistance in Scotland, subsequently returning to Oxford and being sent by the king in 1645 with letters for the queen at St Germains
.
He proceeded thence to See also:Flanders and fitted: out two frigates with military stores, which he brought to the See also:prince of See also:Wales at See also:Falmouth
..
He visited See also:Cork and after-wards in See also:July 1646. joined his troops in Scotland, with the See also:hope of expelling Argyll from Kintyre; but he was obliged to retire by See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order of the king, and returning to Ireland threw himself into theintrigues between the various factions
.
In 1647 he was appointed with two others by the confederacy to negotiate a treaty with the prince of Wales in See also:France, and though he anticipated his companions by starting a See also:week before them, he failed to secure the. coveted lord-lieutenancy, which was confirmed to Ormonde
.
He now ceased to support the Roman Catholics or the king's cause; opposed the treaty between Ormonde, and the confederates; supported the project of See also:union between O'Neill and the parliament; and in 1649 entered into communications with See also:Cromwell, for whom he performed various services, though there appears no authority to support See also:Carte's See also:story that Antrim was the author of a forged agreement for the betrayal of the king's See also:army by Lord See also:Inchiquin.' Subsequently he joined See also:Ireton, and was. See also:present at the See also:siege of See also:Carlow
..
He returned to England in December 165o, and in lieu of his confiscated See also:estate received a See also:pension of 500 and later of Boo, together with lands in See also:Mayo
.
At the Restoration Antrim was excluded from the See also:Act of Oblivion on See also:account of his See also:religion, and on presenting himself at court was imprisoned in the See also:Tower, subsequently being called before the lords justices in Ireland, In 1663 he succeeded, in spite of Ormonde's opposition, in. securing a See also:decree of innocence from the commissioners of claims
.
This raised an outcry from the adventurers who had been put in See also:possession of his lands,' and who procured a fresh trial; but An-See also:trim appealed to the king, and through the influence of the queen See also:mother obtained a See also:pardon, his estates being restored to him by the Irish, Act of Explanation in 1665.2 Antrim died on the 3rd of February 1683
.
He is described by See also:Clarendon as of handsome See also:appearance but `` of excessive See also:pride and vanity and of a marvellous weak and narrow understanding." He married secondly See also:Rose, daughter of Sir See also:- HENRY
