Williamite Wars in Ireland - Childs, Professor John (University of Leeds, UK)

William III's defeat of James II's Catholic army at the Battle of the Boyne on 1 July 1690 ended the Stuart dynasty's last hope of survival. It has also been central, together with the siege of Londonderry, to the foundation myth of Northern Ireland. This title provides an account of the wars between Britain and Ireland in the 17th century.
