Ireland’s Wars: Devastation And Surrenders

Ireland’s Wars: The Fall Of Galway

Ireland’s Wars: Ireton’s New Plan And The Fall Of Athlone
1651 came, the weather cleared, but nothing happened. Everyone must have known that another Parliamentarian assault on the Shannon defensive line, led by Henry Ireton, was an inevitability, to make up for his failed effort the first time around. But … Continue reading

Ireland’s Wars: A Leadership Change, Foreign Negotiations And Aims For The New Year
With Meelick Island and the end of Ireton’s Autumn Offensive, military operations, for the rest of 1650 anyway, largely came to a halt. You’d still have your minor raids and Tory campaigns (for and against) but with the weather turning … Continue reading

Ireland’s Wars: The War In Galway
