The Pale was the period of time in which James, Duke of York ruled over an area of Ireland called the Pale which covered most of Leinster and Munster. James gained control of this area through causing a Jacobite Rebellion against the harsh rule of the Commonwealth. Due to the lack of any formal declaration of government The Pale was ruled under an Absolute Monarchy by James who styled himself as King James II of Ireland.
