#OnThisDay 1646 Owen Roe O’Neill defeated a Scottish Covenanter army under Robert Munro at the Battle of Benburb in Tyrone. O’Neill was the nephew of Hugh O’Neill. A final pike charge by the Irish caused the Scots to break & run, killing several thousand. #Ireland #History

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
