Book excerpt: Sarsfield & the Jacobites is a military biography set against the background of the 'Glorious Revolution' and the Williamite War (1688-1691). It examines Sarsfield's military career in detail, with special focus on his role as the most outstanding Irish soldier of the Williamite War. Special attention is given to his presence at the Boyne, Athlone and Aughrim; his heroic defence of Limerick and his part in negotiating the famous Treaty are fully considered and weighed. Episodes like his celebrated raid on the Williamite siege train at Ballyneety are thoroughly covered as are his final days with the 'Wild Geese' in Flanders. The result is a comprehensive and reliable narrative of a legendary military career.

THE FLIGHT OF THE "WILD GEESE."--SARSFIELD ON THE CONTINENT.--HIS DEATH AT LANDEN. 'jOW that the Articles were signed, the English took possession of the Irish town, while the Irish still occupied the English town, each party having a guard at their own end of Ball's Bridge. While the Articles were under discussion, there was some relaxation of discipline on both sides; the officers and men of both armies visiting each other perfectly freely, and fighting their battles over again quite a friendly and convivial spirit. It seems most likely that the following anecdote belongs to this period, and not to the day of the Boyne, as sometimes asserted, Sarsfield is said to have asked some of the enemy's officers "What they now thought of the Irish?" They said that their opinion of them was "What it had always been." Sarsfield appears to have taken this in an uncomplimentary sense, and replied: "Change kings, and we'll fight you again." This free intercourse afterwards gave rise to difficulties, and had to be restrained. By the Military Articles, the Irish officers and soldiers who desired to enter the French service had liberty to do so; and it was further stipulated that Ginkel should provide, at his own cost, ships for their transport, and that of their families, hostages being taken for the safe return of these ships when the work was done. Sarsfield was naturally desirous of taking with him to France as large a number of men as possible. "On the other hand, the Lords Justices," as Harris "frankly admita, "were not wanting in their duties to countermine the design, and to render the effects of the Articles of as little force as possible." Every effort was made by them and by Ginkel to thwart Sarsfield, and induce the Irish either to take...

Download or read book The Jacobite Rebellions of the British Isles written by Andrew Jackson and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the Jacobite Rebellions really began in 1534, when King Henry VIII changed the official religion of England from Catholic to Protestant. The narrative then continued through turbulent times of civil war and religious and political strife, leading to tensions and discontent boiling over when the Catholic King James II came to the throne in 1685; whereupon he was immediately beset by a Protestant rebellion led by the Duke of Monmouth, which set a chain of events in motion, resulting in William III and Mary II being crowned as Joint Monarchs after a bloodless coup. It was James’ removal from the throne which created the spark for his supporters to orchestrate a series of revolts, known as the Jacobite Rebellions; the name coming from the Latin for James – Jacobus. These uprisings, which included the rebellions from the Highlands of Scotland, and the Williamite Wars in Ireland, also formed part of the wider picture of a European war, known as the Nine Years War; the War of the Grand Alliance; or the War of the League of Augsburg (1688-1697). During which, King Louis XIV of France strived to realise his expansionist plans while enforcing the Catholic religion and continuing to promote the Jacobite cause for his own ends. Later, King Louis XIV was instrumental in initiating another conflict in Europe; the Spanish War of Succession 1701-1714, which led the French to continue to support, Jacobite risings in Scotland during the same period and beyond, ultimately leading to Bonnie Prince Charlie’s audacious bid for the British throne in 1745. The ‘45 rebellion was eventually put down in the crushing military defeat at Culloden in 1746 when the last pitched battle on British soil finally sounded the death knell for the Catholic and Stuart monarchy. However, the legend of the dashing prince, who came so near, but yet so far in his bid to win the throne back for the Stuarts, is still very much alive in Scotland, especially as he continued to frustrate an enormous government manhunt to capture him, amidst a savage backdrop of reprisals being wreaked on the Highland Jacobites.
