Description

 

Americans hear it on the news and wonder.

July 12 in Ireland has become a day of pride and anger, lawsuits and fisticuffs. Called “The Twelfth,” it commemorates the Battle of the Boyne, 1690, when William of Orange (hence today’s Protestant “Orangemen”) and his polyglot army ended the Jacobite hopes for James II to regain the throne and allow (at least) more religious freedom for Catholic Ireland.

In one sense, The Boyne might be considered the last battle of the English Civil War—a conflict that had spilled into both Scotland and Ireland along the way. And it might be considered one of the last battles of the Protestant Reformation, since much support on both sides had to do with which religion other countries wished to prevail, which is evident when you find that William’s army included Danes, Dutch, English, Huguenots, Welsh and Protestant Irish. James’ army was mostly Catholic Irish but also included a brigade of crack French infantry and some of the best cavalry in Europe.
