Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Irish Brigades in the Service of France: From the Revolution in Great Britain and Ireland Under James II., To the Revolution in France Under Louis XVI Britain, and landed without opposition, November 15th, 1688, at Torbay, in Devonshire. James, though too long deceived respecting the real destination of the Dutch armament, by the treachery of his minister Robert Spencer, Earl of Sun derland, had, nevertheless, assembled a force, that, if well affected towards him, would have been much more than sufficient to overpower the invaders. But, incapacitated from defending his crown by a defection so general as even to include his own daughter Anne, afterwards Queen Anne, and not altogether without reasons to be mindful of the fate of his father, King Charles I., it was soon judged requisite for him to send Off his Queen and infant son piivately to France. After having been turned out of his 01111 palace at White hall, and for some time a piisoner under a Dutch guarth the King likewise considered it necessaiy fo1 him to escape from Eng] 1nd, and seek in France the protection of his cousin german, Louis tdxivf. Early in the following year, 1689, the flight of James, notwithstanding his proposal, in writing, from France, to return. Summon a Parliament, and endeavour, in a regular way, to adjust matteis between himself and his subjects, was voted in England by a Convention, assembled under William's auspices, to have been an abdication of the Crown. The royal dignity, thus pronounced to have been abdicated by James, against his public protest to the contrary, was conferred upon the Prince and Princess of Orange, with the executive power to be vested in the Prince. The Crown of Scotland, still a separate one from the Crown of England, was, in the spring of the same year, also transferred from James (as James VII.) to his son - ln - law and daughter; so that, with the exception of a brave, though comparatively unimportant, Opposition in favour of the deposed Monarch, maintained in a corner of Scotland amongst the Highlanders, the Dutch Prince became the de facto Sovereign of the 2 Protestant kingdoms of Great Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Highly Recommended . . . an absorbing account of a military formation that became an elite force within the French Army.” —Firetrench Irish troops had fought for Louis XIV in the 1670s, under Irish officers who had little choice but to fight in foreign service, with the blessing of Charles II. With the accession of James II, and the religious politics of who might earn the English crown, they became embroiled in the Jacobite succession crisis, fighting in Ireland, then sent to France under Lord Mountcashel in 1689. With the fall of Limerick in 1691, Patrick Sarsfield led the second “flight” of “Wild Geese” to the continent, to fight in a war for the French, against the Grand Alliance of Europe, in the vain hope that their loyalty might warrant French support in a return to Ireland under a Jacobite king. From the Nine Years War, through the War of the Spanish Succession, and beyond, their descendants would be present at Fontenoy, Culloden and in the Americas, forever destined to fight for a cause and land which had changed beyond recognition. D.P. Graham explains the origins of the brigade and its regiments, the personalities who led them and formed their reputation, and the circumstances of their final dissolution in the aftermath of French Revolution. “An excellent study of the events that led up to the creation of the Wild Geese, and in particular the brutal war in Ireland, a conflict that still has an impact in the present day.” —History of War
Download or read book Military History of the Irish Nation Comprising a Memoir of the Irish Brigade in the Service of France written by Matthew O'Conor O'Conor and published by . This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a history of Irish military valour as employed against the old enemy, England, from the wars of Elizabeth down to the War of the Spanish Succession. The Earl of Tyrone led a guerilla resistance to attempted English colonisation at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries; from then on Irish soldiers were much sought after by the Catholic powers of Spain and France who often employed them as mercenaries against the Protestant Dutch and English. Occasionally, the Irish found themselves battling their fellow countrymen who had taken service in the British Army. At the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 Irishmen found themselves fighting on both sides - for William of Orange and James II. Irishmen also distinguished themselves fighting on the French side in the War of the Spanish Succession. Published in Dublin in 1845, this is a splendid record of Irish arms.
