User:Lord Cornwallis/Siege of Derry (1649)
1649 siege / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Siege of Derry took place from March to August 1649 during the War of the Three Kingdoms when a combined force of Irish Royalists and their Scottish Covenanter allies laid siege to the city of Derry in Ulster whose Anglo-Irish garrison under Sir Charles Coote was allied to the English Republicans. Following the intervention of the renegade Ulster Army under Owen Roe O'Neill of the Irish Confederates, the siege was broken. Derry remained in English republican hands for the next decade, and O'Neill's army having changed sides to join the Royalist coalition was effectively destroyed by their former allies the following year.
