Ireland’s Wars: The Battle Of Kinsale
A note on dates: The English actually kept a slightly different calendar to the Spanish and Catholic Irish, for largely religious reasons. As such, I beg a little leeway if some dates seem a bit off kilter. The Battle of … Continue reading
Ireland’s Wars: The Campaigns And Winter March Of 1601
