  • 🚩 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: kzhead.info/sun/abyyab6SnJSjZ3A/bejne.html 🚩 Support HistoryMarche on Patreon and get ad-free early access to our videos for as little as $1: www.patreon.com/historymarche

    • This has become my favorite history doc channel partially because they fill the gaps. I had a chance to travel and decided to make a trip to Istanbul, through Bulgaria, Serbia, then to Budapest, largely inspired by the Historymarche videos on Eastern European conflicts. I enjoy that while my family all want to travel to Paris, Rome, and London, I can mention things I learned from this channel and see the look of shock from locals that a random American tourist knows about wars that are significant to their national identity.

    • ​@@mullerreus145fucking horrible isn't it. The amount of lucky breaks Britain got in so many wars against us is just gut wrenching. William a whisker away from getting obliterated by a cannonball, Hugh O'Neill having the English on the ropes but dying of disease. The most painful thing to listen to in all histories of the conquest of Ireland though is the level of disagreement and infighting from ancient Ireland right up to the flight of the Earls. When the enemy was at the gate, even when they were about to be wiped out, they still couldn't put aside petty differences and fight as a confederacy, or even worse were all too willing to sell the other out

  • Basically Irish War of 1690-91, could be seen to have been decided by the shot of a cannon ball in respect to both Boyne and Aughrim. As at the Boyne, William III twice escaped death narrowly at the hands of a cannonball, before leading his troops to victory. While at Aughrim, it was the loss of their commander to a lucky cannon shot, that spelt the doom of the Jacobite army.

  • As someone who grew up near to this place (Ballinasloe, Co. Galway), I want to thank you so much for putting together this video which explains so well how the decisive battle between the Williamites and the jacobites came about, and how the Battle of Aughrim itself developed and ended so catastrophically for the Jacobites from a seemingly winning position. 7,000 lives lost makes it one of the bloodiest, if not the bloodiest battles on these Islands, Driving past the village of Aughrim today, there is no visual indication on the landscape that such a monumental event in Irish history happened here. There is an excellent interpretive Center in Aughrim village, and the main flash points of the battle are explained locally with signage, but from what I can find, this is the first visual animated display of how the battle itself panned out, a battle that consigned Ireland to its fate for the next 230 years. It is worth a hundred pages of reading. Well done, it took a while, but from the amount of viewing it has got inside a week (133k), it was well worth waiting for.

Luttrell at the 2nd siege of Limerick was caught writing letters to the Williamites and narrowly avoided hanging. He was murdered in Dublin 15 years later, no-one was ever convicted but the legend has it was done at the hands of Jacobite veteran.

Why in god’s good name would St. Ruth not engage his cavalry sitting immobile on his left, when the English center had been broken? Makes no sense. He had the English on the ropes, and refused to deliver the final knock out blow.

    • St Ruth couldn't launch his mounted Irish gainst the Williamite centre because their horses would have handled crossing the bog even worse that the Williamite Foot had. There was also the problem that 2/3 of the Mounted Irish were Dragoons rather than Heavy Cavalry and no match in a straight fight. The Williamite Heavy Cavalry outnumbered their Irish opponents by almost two to one.

Very inpressive. The plate also has several "little dinkers" that look like spent musket balls. Has to be a lucky shot, just "aiming in the general direction". It does show how WELL they can aim.

  • Here is a clear cut example of purpose: the Willamites had a strategy and an objective which they pursued to the end, despite the mounting losses. The Jacobites had none, just reacting to whatever the enemy was doing. Austerlitz, Hastings, Aughrim are examples where just reacting to the enemy, instead of fighting with a landmark goal in mind, dooms the ability of one side to surprise the enemy and take him off ballance.

    • To an extent...though sitting on a strong defensive position and forcing your enemy to attack it is hardly a bad strategy, as long as you execute it properly. Examples of major battles where the defender did that successfully include Gettysburg and Waterloo (the British part).

  • Well, that's what happened when you let a Frenchman take the reins of the military strategy of your armies in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It cost Ireland and the Jacobites the end of their cause, while it cost the Spanish the definitive loss of all their European territories (which they successfully defended for almost two centuries) and Gibraltar; Although in the War of the Polish Succession, Sicily and Southern Italy were recovered (especially because the command was Spanish and not French), but no one talks about it on KZhead history channels.

    • Really depends on the Frenchman in question though. If I recall, Berwick and Vendome did rather well for Bourbon Spain in the War of the Spanish Succession; Habsburg Spain was more so let down in that conflict by the Allies.

    • @@doritofeesh Yes, you are right, although in the case of the War of Spanish Succession, the Frenchman who failed was the most important of all, who was the "Sun King" Louis XIV himself; The idea of wanting to take his ambitions to the point of charging a Spain that was in full institutional and military transition, as Philip V had, into a world war, was a fatal miscalculation. Despite what has been read by recent Spanish historians, that the state of Charles II's Spanish army was not as backward as international and especially French historiography have wanted to make it clear (mainly those written by delegates of Philip V when he arrived to the kingdom), because at the end of the day they came from a war like that of the Nine Years, where in order to fight, it was necessary to be in line with the other armies of the conflict (otherwise the Empire would not have survived); The truth is that adapting the French war model would take more time, especially in the naval area, which was where the Empire suffered the most and it is the lack of coordination that harmed Spain the most in the conflict. Returning to the topic, internationally everyone had accepted the will of Charles II that Philip of Bourbon be his successor and no one would have supported the Habsburg demands for the throne, however Louis XIV wanted more and recklessly provoked the allies by leaving see his intentions for the French and Spanish crowns to unite, something that convinced everyone to support the Austrians in their claims and when the war began without sufficient preparation, Spain ended up losing the Spanish Netherlands, Milan and Southern Italy, in addition to Menorca and Gibraltar, a fatal miscalculation for Louis XIV and his initial strategy in the war; If it were not for the fact that Philip V continued to resist successfully in the Iberian Peninsula, along with those two French generals that you mentioned (the only two good French generals of the entire war, along with Villars), the Bourbons would not currently exist in Spain, since Louis was even on the verge of throwing in the towel with the English demands to accept the defeat. The best thing would have been to leave the two crowns separate from the beginning, giving Philip V time to organize the Empire better for himself and thereby gain a stronger ally for his European claims before he died in 1715 (something that Philip V would have achieved by 1705 or 1707, if it had not been for the war, since it took 4 or 5 years to prepare the Spanish army for the War of the Quadruple Alliance).

    • @ Yeah, it's not often talked about, but while Louis XIV did centralize his authority in France, it was not all on his own merit and the era of turmoil he faced from the period of the Fronde until the conflict with Spain was over during the mid-17th century was a close call that would have been the end of his regime if not for the illustrious Marechal Turenne. Strategically, most of Louis XIV's wars have sort of ended in failure. His wars against the Dutch, for example, where they flooded their own country in 1672 and he was prevented from making headway; then, Conde was poorly-resourced and outnumbered in that theatre which led to the hard fought stalemate at Seneffe. Luxembourg was provided sizable armies to fight after those two great generals, but he only ever won tactical victories without achieving a decisive strategic outcome. Even the War of the Spanish Succession was folly on his end and the true winner of that conflict turned out to be the British (always butting in and exploiting conflicts to reap the most benefit for themselves from the 18th to 19th century). Hell, if not for Villars putting up such a strong performance, Marlborough and Eugene would have just steamrolled through to Paris and Louis would have been as defeated as Napoleon was in 1814. In fact, this might very well have happened had the British not withdrawn Marlborough from Allied command (but of course they did so, because such an Allied victory was not in their own favour). In fact, on a direct comparison, Louis XIV was even more ambitious than Napoleon was, but it could be said that he was luckier to have many great commanders bail him out of situations on account of his lackluster understanding of warfare. Case in point during the WSS alone, where Berwick/Vendome recovered the situation from the Allies in Bourbon Spain and Villars recovered the war in the Nederlands and on the Rhine after Marlborough's dismissal by outmanoeuvring Eugene twice in 1712 and 1713.

    • ​@@doritofeeshI think no one could say or explain it better than you, you are absolutely right, King Louis XIV is held in high esteem in history for the hegemony he exercised in Europe after the Spanish defeat in the mid-seventeenth century, but the truth is that after Turenne, all his wars were missed opportunities and several disasters as you mention. Philip V's stubbornness made the war drag on and end in a way that benefited the Bourbon cause, and his generals decided the conflict in the Iberian Peninsula and Netherlands to the Sun King's advantage; although, as you say, the only winners were the British, who always had the diplomatic skill to convince several kingdoms or countries to go to war on their side without any benefits for their cause (because Austria would lose Naples and Sicily shortly after in the War of the Polish Succession, so that in the end they would have almost no gains from the War of the Spanish Succession, apart from Milan and Belgium, which were problematic territories), while the English managed in each war to consolidate their commercial and territorial empire at the expense of Netherlands, Spain and France.
