They were left to rot in the field ⚔ Battle of Aughrim, 1691 ⚔ Dark day in Irish history

🚩 Have I got a big battle for you today! Battle of Aughrim (1691), perhaps the bloodiest encounter ever fought in the British Isles. It was the deciding battle in the conflict between Williamite and Jacobite forces, one year after the famous Battle of the Boyne, which I also covered here: https://youtu.be/6Xy9ZZebm48

Sapete cosa sta facendo Israele sionista per terrorizzare le terre occupate? O cristiani, avete commenti o reazioni agli attacchi dei terroristi sionisti contro i cittadini Nasrani dello Stato di Palestina? I sionisti hanno bombardato con gli aerei la vostra chiesa di 1400 anni e l’ospedale di cui eravate responsabile! Centinaia di persone persero la vita e molti divennero martiri. I sionisti stanno commettendo un genocidio! Massacra le persone senza discriminazione di lingua, religione o razza. È giusto che tu rimanga insensibile mentre anche gli ebrei sinceri maledicono l’Israele sionista? Quanto tempo aspetterete per porre fine all'oppressione e all'occupazione dei sionisti, che non rispettano alcuna sacralità o fede nei luoghi benedetti dal Signore dei Mondi? Quante altre persone dovranno morire? Nessuno ha il diritto di danneggiare alcuna creatura vivente in questi luoghi sacri. I sionisti stanno facendo cose così terribili che nessuno che abbia una coscienza può restare a guardare questa crudeltà. I crimini commessi dai sionisti non rimarranno impuniti. Anche se tutti tacciono, noi non rimarremo in silenzio.

you welcome

Great video about a topic I had no knowledge of

I wish there was a game like this.

Expediencies of war. The dead didn't mind. And neither side could afford to offer 21st Century manners to each other. War is a bitter and terrible thing.

"After the battle the English did not tarry to bury any of the dead but their own, and left those of the enemy exposed to the fowls of the air, for the country was then so uninhabited that there were not hands to inter them. Many dogs resorted to this aceldama [Potter's field] where for want of other food they fed on man's [sic] flesh, and thereby became so dangerous and fierce that a single person could not pass that way without manifest hazard".

'Terugtrekken' a nice detail as William was actually called 'Willem' and a Dutch.

I can not, I must- Patrick Star

Fantastic stuff!

Have u done the siege of Derry yet

It's true the Jacobite dead were left to rot on the field whereas the Williamite dead were officially given Christian burial. I say officially because the Quartermaster was paid a shilling or 5p for each body he buried but he just threw them in the river and pocketed the money.

Thank you for the interesting story!!

Another great day in Ulster history, when will the Irish ever learn they can't defeat Ulster

how much of the tension between catholics and protestants in 20th century Ireland were a result of this conflict ?

A cannonball decapitate the commander's head?

Thats brutal

Could you do like…companion videos that have information about kit and equipment and uniforms of these armies? That'd be great. 🙂

commentator should have learnt proper pronunciation for many words

Left to rot, what else were they gonna do? Get up and have a square dance? Lol 😂

Meh from the looks of it the Irish we're about to be flanked anyway – this just sped things up a bit. The bigger mistake was in seeking pitched battles and not engaging in guerilla warfare when confronting a stronger opponent (relentless but small hit and run attacks on supply trains etc.)
