History
It
was the battle which changed the course of Irish history.
The Irish forces were defeated, the nobility fled and
the Plantations of Ulster followed, the repercussions
of which are clear from Ireland's most recent bloody history.
In previous months, troops from Spain led by Don Juan
d'Aquila landed in Kinsale despite Irish requests that
they land further up the coast. They were surrounded by
the crown forces led by Lord Mountjoy. D'Aquila had been
promised horses and the support of the whole of Munster
but very little of either materialized.
In
the meantime, 'Red'Hugh O'Donnell, having summoned his
troops and local chiefs to Ballymote in Sligo, embarked
on a hard journey on foot across mountains and flooded
land to Munster and into Innishannon where he met up with
the forces of Hugh O'Neill, arriving in Kinsale in late
December 1601.
Storms and torrential rain foiled Irish plans of a Night
time attack. A rare occurrence of St. Elmo's Fire, an
electric storm, caused many of the horses in the Irish
camp to bolt. O'Neill crossed difficult terrain with a
force of 5000 to attack the English camp, but they were
ready for them, dispatching them in a bloody skirmish
his troops panicked and many fled. O'Donnell's forces
were similarly routed and they too gave up the ghost.
The
Spanish surrendered soon after. The battle was over. In
all, the English lost as many as 5000 men, mostly through
starvation and disease, but their superior tactics won
them a decisive victory. Photo's
