OTD 1599 Essex leaves Askeaton but was engaged at Finniterstown. The Irish attacked the column, trying to force in the English wings of shot, but in 8 hours the crown army pushed through to Croom Castle. Capt Jennings killed and Sir Henry Norreys shot in the leg #nineyearswar

@Aontaithe2021 @BogglesDonegal They all used matchlocks, calivers just the light firearm, musket pain-in-the ass heavy, slower firing but greater range. Only a few mentions of flint ignition weapons, all were pistols and pertronels used by cavalry.

OTD 1602 Report on Lord Delvin, longtime supporter of crown and central to Crown defence of the Pale was committed to the [Dublin] Castle and is now a prisoner ill in body and unsound in heart'. Dies in gaol cell. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to be loyal to Crown. #nineyearswar

Norreys 'received a violent and venomous thrust of a pike where the jaw-bone joins the upper part of the neck. When his people saw him thus wounded, they collected around him and carried him back to Kilmallock'. Norreys never recovered, and succumbed to his injury early in August

OTD 1595 As Bagenal marched to Monaghan, Tyrone attacked at Crossdall. 800 Irish shot fell on the column but Capt Cuney drew 150 to hold the Irish back. The fight raged for 4 hours as the English passed through. Irish fire slackened enabling Cuney to break contact #nineyearswar

OTD 1593 Failure to cooperate with Tyrone = consequences . Phelim MacTurlough O'Neill, lord of Killetra talked with Tyrone at Toome, but the meeting didn't go well ''God's defiance to you till nightfall' said Tyrone leaving, minutes later Phelim was hacked to pieces #nineyearswar

OTD 1600 Docwra's fleet slipped anchor at Carrickfergus and set sail for L. Foyle. Sailing with 4,000 infantry and 200 horse on board, the ambitious operation was supported by M'joys advance into S. Ulster. No one knew it but it would become one of the pivotal moment in the war

OTD 1596 As Tyrone's pardon is passed by the great seal of Ireland, a report suggest all is not what it seems. Claims that the peace was treacherously used by the Irish to gain time. New troops were raised and Irish get 'all such necessaries..as power and munitions' #nineyearswar

OTD 1601 Q. Elizabeth complained Tyrone received more arms & munitions from Scotland than Spain. This was true as Irish received regular shipments from Glasgow. James VI turned a blind eye until his succession to English throne was in the bag in 1602-then he turned off the taps

OTD 1600 As Mountjoy prepared to push into Ulster as a feint for the the Foyle landings, report of dissent in the Irish camp as the Maguire succession feud leaves hundreds dead in #Fermanagh. Loyalty of Turlough MacHenry, Arthur O'Neill and John O'Doherty doubtful #nineyearswar
