Meanwhile near Kinsale Mountjoy received news of Tyrone's further losses while retreating north from Munster. While attempting to cross the swollen waters of the River Blackwater (Co. Cork) 'lost many of his carriages, and had some 140 of his men drowned'

OTD 1601 Not everyone marched north, Hugh Roe O'Donnell arrived at Castlehaven and boarded a ship for Spain. Docwra had left him little to return to, so O'D planned to secure further aid from Philip III, but he never saw Ireland again-he was dead within the year #nineyearswar

OTD 1599 Enfant terrible Capt Humfrey Willis proposed plot of forts in Ulster, inc. Derry, Lifford, B'shannon, Cavan, Armagh, C'fergus, Coleraine and Toome. His incursion into Fermanagh sparked war in 1593. Fought throughout but killed in mopping up op. summer 1602 #nineyearswar

OTD 1600 Discovering Tyrone had abandoned the Moyry Pass, Mountjoy marched from Dundalk to occupy the deserted fortifications. On the Irish works 'I did never see a more villainous piece of work, an impossible thing for an army to pass without an intolerable loss' #nineyearswar
