Jim O'Neillさんのイラストまとめ

A large trace italienne rampart was built to accommodate an expansion of the garrison but the first troops occupied MacBaron's island/crannog. Note the cadgehouses and plank reinforced wattle walls with firing loops. Though strongly fortified the position fell without resistance

OTD 1607 Hugh O'Neill with Rory O'Donnell, their families and adherents left Rathmullan for Europe never to return and what has become known as the Flight of the Earls. O'Neill never stopped trying to return but he would die exiled in Rome 9 years later #nineyearswar

OTD 1599 Essex marched for Ulster- 'I am even now putting my foot into the stirrup, to go to the rendezvous at the Navan & from thence I will draw the army so far, & to do as much as duty will warrant me & God enable me'-loving the enthusiasm (spoiler:it won't end well for Essex)

OTD 1595 Geffrey Fenton reports Tyrone receiving all his supplies of gunpowder out of Glasgow, shipped from Danzig and other eastern ports. Suggests Queen buy up all powder before Tyrone. Scots shipments vital to Irish campaigns as James VI turned blind eye #nineyearswar

OTD 1598 Tyrone achieved his operational goal of the Yellow Ford when the 2,000 strong English army destined for the Foyle under Samuel Bagenal was redirected to protect Dublin and the Pale. When Docwra landed on the Foyle in May 1600 it was the beginning of the end for Tyrone

OTD 1599 Sir Thomas Norreys, president of Munster, joined his brother John in the afterlife. He was speared in the neck/face in June but lingered for another 2 months. Thomas' other brother Henry, (who was shot in the leg) died of his wounds just 4 days earlier #nineyearswar

OTD 1602 Chichester took Tyrone's stronghold at Inishloughan. Held by 42 shot and 20 swordsmen, it had'2 deep ditches both compassed with strong palisades...high and thick rampeire..well flanked with bulwarks'. It had little chance against well-placed artillery #nineyearswar

Crown didnt' understand this wasn't about killing troops, Tyrone needed to deflect the proposed landing of large army on the Foyle. Crown forced to send new army to protect Dublin rather than threaten Tyrone's hinterlands-big picture thinking by Tyrone exploited English arrogance

@NoelPender @RTS_Gamer321098 Dont believe the stirrups or saddle thing, they had them and used them as needed (see image if Irish horse with both). Irish cavalry quite like Spanish Jinete, also Spanish described them more like light Moorish cavalry

OTD 1600 Mountjoy tried to lessen troops gunpowder expenses, cost of powder used deducted from pay. He wanted crown to cover the powder used on campaign, on watches 'as charging and discharging of his piece in time of watches is of necessity' and during training' #nineyearswar
