A landcape view of Dublin and the River Liffey from the vicity of Islandbridge. Dublin and its inhabitants were transformed by the upheavals of the 16th and 17th centuries in Ireland, beginning with the English conquest of the whole island under the Tudor dynasty. Protestants became a majority in Dublin in the 1640s, when thousands of them fled there to escape the Irish Rebellion of 1641. When the city was subsequently threatened by Irish Catholic forces, the Catholic Dubliners were expelled from the city by its English garrison.

In the 1640s, the city was besieged twice during the Irish Confederate Wars, in 1646 and 1649. However, on both occasions the attackers were driven off before a lengthy siege could develop.
