Regium Donum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Regium Donum was an annual grant formerly voted by Parliament to augment the stipends of the Presbyterian clergy in Ireland. The Regium Donum originally began in 1673 during the reign of Charles II. The grant was then renewed and increased by King William in 1690 as a reward for the loyalty of Presbyterians during the war in Ireland following the Glorious Revolution. It was discontinued in 1869.
