#OnThisDay 1690 William of Orange & 26,000 men begin the siege of Limerick despite his lack of siege artillery. The 25,000 Jacobite defenders in the city are poorly armed. French General Lauzun said Limerick “could be taken with roast apples” & leaves the city. #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.
