The Siege of Kinsale, 1602. Ireland Falls to British Rule. Irish Seed the American Revolution.
The English victory crushed Ireland’s last real chance at freedom, locking the island under English rule, its warriors dead, its leaders in flight, and its people left to endure centuries of occupation. But the Irish who escaped carried their hatred of the British across the Atlantic, and when revolution came to America, they stood at the front lines, ready to strike back.
Kinsale. October 2, 1601 - January 3, 1602.
English Forces: 6,800 Infantry, 600 Cavalry.
Spanish Forces: ~ 3,300 - 3,400 Infantry.
Irish Forces: ~ 6,000 Men.
Additional Reading and Episode Research:
- Haves-McCoy, G.A. Irish Battles.
- Silke, John. Kinsale.
- Foster, R.F. Modern Ireland.
