The principal landowners were to be '''Undertakers''', wealthy men from England and Scotland who undertook to import tenants from their own estates. They were granted around 3000 acres (12 km²) each, on condition that they settle a minimum of 48 adult males (including at least 20 families) who had to be [[Anglophone|English-speaking]] and Protestant.

The City of London guilds were also granted land on the west bank of the [[River Foyle]] to build their own city ([[Londonderry]], near the older [[Derry]]) andy landstierra inen el [[CountyCondado de Londonderry]]. The final major recipient of lands was the Protestant [[Church of Ireland]], which was granted all the churches and lands previously owned by the [[Roman Catholic]] church.
