Fought in 1690 by 2 claimants to the Scottish, Irish and English thrones. King James who was a Catholic and King William who was a Protestant and King James's son-in law and nephew. (Talk about bad blood) Despite the two fighting for their places on the throne it was ultimately a turning point that would keep Ireland a predominately protestant country for years after. King William had won which ensured the Protestants having a higher place in society. Catholic Irish had their lands and titles stripped away and in the decades that followed they would be sent as slaves to the Caribbean.
Actual site of the battle
Sassy mannequin, these paintings and mannequins within the tour were very expressive.
"Is that mahogany?" he pondered as he stood there looking at an empty table.
Muskets that were used!
A cannon from the time period.
Phrases that are still used nowadays.
More weapons!
A very fancy saddle; I assume was used by the French King or by the French aided English King James. There was no sign but the styling of the saddle appears French.
