OTD 1596 Q. Elizabeth fails to understand why Tyrone & allies haven't accepted their pardons, expected it to be embraced 'with all humility and penitence'. Tyrone was stalling for time, waiting to improve his position & arrival of foreign aid; 'temporising' was key #nineyearswar
OTD 1594 reports from Glens of Antrim that Hugh O'Donnell planing to bring over 4,000 Scots redshanks with aid of James McDonnell into Loughs Foyle and Swilly. Plan fails and Scots troops have small role in war. Tyrone doesn't like using them because of indiscipline #nineyearswar
