🚩 Have I got a big battle for you today! Battle of Aughrim (1691), perhaps the bloodiest encounter ever fought in the British Isles.

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

Will that include that for hundreds of years before the tables turned against Ireland that the Irish were invading England and slaughtered whole towns and cities and took hundreds of thousands of slaves and worse just like the Vikings. Isn't it amazing why you Irish love to miss out they were the first to draw blood but now we stopped it they are suddenly victims? stop picking out history for victim points it's pathetic 😂

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.

Indeed. Ireland's greatest victories over England and Scotland should be covered. Those being the battles of Yellow Ford and Benburb.

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 the Irish cavalry commanders who refused to attack the Williamites as they broke through on the causeway were forever after suspected of treachery. 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.

While my family was shocked to hear my choice, in a recent chance to travel, I took a trip through the capitals of Turkiye, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Hungary, largely because the history I learned from this channel had me fascinated at that meeting ground of empires.

I lived in a town near Aughrim, and my sister worked near the town at a hotel. Never knew the history of it before this video.

I remember once reading in Clausewitz “On War” that at the crucial moment of battle, all forces must concentrate to defeat the enemy. 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.

there is a French Cuirassier breast plate from Waterloo that took a cannon ball. It's curious that the weight of it didn't just SMASH the whole man, but it made a hole, size of a fist. 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.

Where’s the conclusion to the Hannibal saga? Frankly the Punic wars series is my favorite. The greatest enemy of Rome deserves more coverage!

Great video! But I prefer an older videos. Cheers.

'Terugtrekken' a nice detail as William was actually called 'Willem' and a Dutch.

Micks and frogs, what could go wrong?

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.
