An odd twist of fate, Tyrone had benefited from James' tacit support during the war, as the king turned a blind eye to Irish imports of arms and munitions from Glasgow. Tyrone would not have been able to maintain the war without this key line of supply.

OTD 1600, Rev Wm Lyon, Bishop of Cork reported while Tyrone was in Munster 'had taken a full view of the harbours of Cork & Kinsale'. Was it at this point Tyrone decided on plan to land Spanish at Kinsale? Year & a half later Carew had lifted all Tyrone's allies-Munster pacified

It's still behind the paywall (I know, I know...I cant access it either) but for all those lucky ducks with academic access....fill your boots 'Spouses, spies and subterfuge: the role and experience of women during the Nine Years War (1593–1603)' https://t.co/hDZVRIMED2

OTD 1597 news of Tyrone's proclamation in #Dungannon for the raising of 3,000 troops for 3 months. They would receive 1 month up front and be paid 12d per day. Morgan Kavanagh, a veteran of the Low Countries arrived to take up a command in the earl's army. #nineyearswar

OTD 1601 Scots merchant Thomas Douglas watched a Spanish officer drill Tyrone's pikemen in Dungannon. Surprised that experienced troops didn't use tight formation the Spanish officer replied that close order would 'avail them nothing' in constricted Irish terrain #nineyearswar

The damage was immense and many bodies proved impossible to identify as there were 'sundry headless bodies and heads without bodies that were found and not known'. It was thought that poor storage and unloading practices on the quay led to the disaster.

OTD 1594 Bad day for Bagenal as Art MacBaron's son (Tyrone's nephew) with 400 troops stole the marshal's stud, taking them over the R. Bann. Irish threatened to burn Carrickfergus, should have made good as Carrick was key staging area for English throughout the war #nineyearswar

OTD 1595 With Tyrone in open war L. Dep Russell called for merchants to be restrained from selling gunpowder to the Irish, but hard cash trumped patriotism and merchants got rich throughout the war selling munitions to Tyrone at inflated (triple or quadruple) rates #nineyearswar

OTD 1600 Tyrone goes all fire and brimstone on Lord Buttevant 'Your impiety to God, cruelty to your soul and body, tyranny & ingratitude both to your followers and country, are inexcusable & intolerable' Odd as Tyrone wasn't the churchiest of folk-used religion to suit own ends

OTD 1603 dark days for the Irish as Tyrone took refuge in the forests around Toome with just 60 men 'shifting his lodging both night and day' to evade capture. Worse, Cormac MacBaron, Tyrone's brother and possibly finest field commander submitted to Sir Henry Docwra #nineyearswar
