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 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'

OTD 1600 Mountjoy got tactical in the Moyry Pass as he sent 2 infantry regiments to assault the Irish trenches on the left flank. A demonstration by 5 regts at the barricades tried to draw off the Irish but the attack was strongly rebuffed by Tyrone's counterattack

The crowd gathered on Church Street, as Kevin Barry was arrested 20th Sept 1920, taken to Mountjoy in a British lorry, he would never see the world outside again. Yours Til Hell Freezes https://t.co/oBmSpBaGrt

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'

Conor Roe Maguire forced to join Tyrone, but was an unwilling ally & quickly defected. OTD 1600 reported from Cavan that Maguire 'is come in to the Lord Deputy (Mountjoy) offering to pull down the other Maguire (Cuconnacht) raised by Tyrone'-dynastic feuding easily exploited

Even after the devastating defeat of Tyrone & his allies at Kinsale in 1601, Mountjoy thought better of trying to force this pass in Summer campaign 1602. Rather than hammer his way to Dunagannon, Mountjoy sidestepped the defences, building Charlemont Fort a few miles downriver

OTD 1602 Mountjoy besieged Tyrone's crannog stronghold on Roughan Lough. The Irish put up stout resistance but surrendered when fieldworks and cannon were brought to bear. Captured English cannon were found inside likely those lost at the Yellow Ford 4 years earlier

OTD 1602 Mountjoy started building Charlemont fort & bridge as a springboard for taking Dungannon. Often called an artillery fort it was not designed to mount cannon. Demi-bastions & sconce on far bank only provided firing steps and loopholes for defence by firearms

Mysterious Landscape by Roma Mountjoy. She’s an English artist living in South Wales where she has a studio. These little cottages appealed to me and I like her rendition of the sky

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 Loyalty of Turlough MacHenry, Arthur O'Neill and John O'Doherty doubtful

OTD 1601 Mountjoy's army received a bloody repulse as they stormed Capt Tyrrell's island fortress in Westmeath. 'Strong as nature could make it' and reinforced with earth and timber fortifications, the English retreated under heavy fire suffering 16 dead, 45 wounded
