The battle of the Yellow Ford happened in 1598 during the Tyrone's Rebellion.

The Irish alliance led by Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, was victorious over the army of the English Crown led by Henry Bagenal.

Let's take a quick look at the tactics and units that were employed!

In his report to Dublin Clifford didn't mention how close his army came to annihilation. The weather had saved them but so too had Tyrone's reforms. The Irish depended on firepower not axes, a small reserve of galloglass would likely have finished Clifford- but they were gone

OTD 1595 Prodigious consumption of gunpowder by Crown & the war had barely started. 6 lasts (approx. 6 tons) issued in 2 months (also 2 lasts of powder for cannon). For an army even more dependant on firearms we can imagine the quantities used by Tyrone's men

Shows just how charismatic and charming Tyrone could be as Mabel was 20 years his junior. However, charm did not make Tyrone a good husband and he was a less-than-loyal spouse. The marriage produced no children and Mabel died just 4 years later-no known likeness of Mabel exists

Burgh didn't think for a second he was leaving Conyers Clifford dangerously exposed out in the west at his siege of Ballyshannon. Burgh's withdrawal freed up Tyrone's blocking force. Hugh Maguire and Cormac MacBaron's troops streamed west to cut Clifford's line of retreat

OTD 1593 Tyrone reported to Lord Deputy tha he had met with Maguire and got assurances from that he would disperse his army, Maguire 'faithfully promised me that...within these 5 or 6 weeks put them clearly from him'. Deceiving Crown to buy time. Most troops were Tyrone's own men

20 July 1616, Hugh O'Neill, 3rd Baron Dungannon and 2nd Earl of Tyrone, died in Rome. He led an unsuccessful rising against the English, and was eventually forced into exile as part of the "Flight of Earls."

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 1598 The commander of the Blackwater fort, Capt Williams was not the kind of guy to sit and take it. Slipping out of the fort, he captured 18 of Tyrone's mares 'which will serve him & his company a good time'- with horseflesh back on the menu fort could hold out a bit longer
