CHAPTER XXIX. 1571 and 1572. [Sidenote: Fitzwilliam cannot govern without money, 1571.] Sidney was looked upon as the proper Viceroy for stormy times, and to him money and troops were given grudgingly and of necessity, for he would not go to Ireland without them. Fitzwilliam was but a stop-gap, thrown into the place to serve a turn, as he bitterly expressed it. 'For God's sake,' he cried, 'let me be rid of Ireland or I perish.' Arthur Lord Grey was chosen for the perilous post, but the appointment did not then take place, because the Queen differed from him as to a sum of 2,000_l._ It would all, said Fitzwilliam, have been spent in her service, and she would lose ten times the sum by denying it. Of money, indeed, there was a most grievous want. The magazines were empty. The captains were almost openly mutinous. The men were in rags and ready to desert, being forced in the meantime to sell their arms for sheer want. The victuallers were unpaid and had struck work. The Lord Chancellor's salary was at least two years in arrears. Grey was taken seriously ill at the thought of being forced to go to Ireland on the Queen's terms, and Sidney positively refused to return. Fitzwilliam had therefore to remain, and to make the best of it. He received the title of Lord Deputy, but neither more men nor more money than when he held the less exalted post of Lord Justice.[208] [Sidenote: Perrott is ill-supported. Ormonde.]
