"A new history of the largest and most famous battle in Irish history, incorporating findings of a series of newly discovered sources. Was the Boyne really as important as William of Orange's propagandists claimed, or was it, as the losers - the French and many of the Irish - insisted, "only a skirmish"? Padraig Lenihan reconciles the political potency of the Boyne with its military indecisiveness, challenging the conventional view of this most controversial event."--BOOK JACKET.

Osprey's examination of the battle of the Willamite War in Ireland (1689-1691), which would decide the fate of the crown of England. In April 1685, James II ascended the English throne. An overt Catholic, James proved unpopular with his Protestant subjects, and a group of nobles invited the Dutch prince William of Orange to take the throne in the Glorious Revolution of 1688; James II fled to France. James returned in 1689, a French fleet landing him at Kinsale in Ireland. On 14 June 1690, William led an army to Ireland and came face-to-face with the Jacobites along the banks of the Boyne near Drogheda. This book describes the events that led to the momentous battle on July 1, 1690.

Excerpt from Battle of the Boyne The Song. July the first, in Oldbridge town, There was a grievous battle, Where many a man lay on the ground, By cannons that did rattle. King James he pitched his tents between The lines for to retire; But King William threw his bomb-balls in And set them all on fire. Thereat enraged they vowed revenge Upon King William's forces, And oft did cry vehemently, That they would stop his courses, A bullet from the Irish came, And grazed King William's arm; They thought his Majesty was slain, Yet it did him little harm. Duke Schomberg then, in friendly care, His King would often caution To shun the spot where bullets hot Retained their rapid motion; But William said, he don't deserve The name of Faith's Defender, Who would not venture life and limb To make a foe surrender.

Of all the many battles fought in the British Isles, perhaps none has cast such a long shadow at the Battle of the Boyne - William of Orange's triumph over his father-in-law James II in Ireland in 1690. Celebrated by Ulster's Protestants with noisy parades on its July anniversary to this day, the Boyne was the decisive battle in the Williamite War in Ireland which lasted from 1688-91. This book would not find favour with those Protestant marchers since it is written from a strongly Jacobite viewpoint, and centres around the formation of the Irish Brigade who, after their departure from their native island, saw distinguished service as the 'Wild Geese' mercenaries fighting for France. Based on mainly French sources, and illustrated by fine engravings this is a book that will interest all who are keen on the story of the Glorious Revolution and the Jacobites - whatever their political or religious leanings.

In the Bloodless Glorious Revolution of 1688, King James II, a Roman Catholic, lost the throne of England to his daughter, Mary, and her Protestant husband, William, Prince of Orange, at the request of parliament. After seeking refuge with Louis XIV of France, James, in opportunity to strike back at William through Ireland. The two monarchs came face-to-face at the River Boyne (a few miles west of Dragheda), and the resulting battle is still celebrated (on 12th July) by Irish Protestants. Today, however, many people question question the historical importance of the battle, claiming that it was little more than a minor skirmish with no real religious or political significance. They also deride William s role and expertise in defeating his father-in-law on the day. In this well-researched biography, Michael Sheane answers those questions and charts William III s life from childhood through to his victory at the Battle of the Boyne.
