Elizabeth inherited a problem of diminishing control over Ireland. Despite royal laws forbidding immigration by Scots, Scottish-Gaelic clans consolidated power and repudiated the crown. Radclyffe, who had served Mary I as lord deputy of Ireland, was largely unable to subjugate these chiefs and lords, though his second-in-command Sidney did have some success. Elizabeth only briefly retained him as lord lieutenant before rearranging command.
Elizabeth returned Sidney to Ireland in 1565, now as lord deputy himself.
