#OnThisDay 1649 Cromwell’s troops enter Drogheda after surrender terms were refused and kill 2,500 men of the garrison, any clergy were ‘knocked on the head’ (i.e. beaten to death) & 800 civilians. Cromwell wrote ‘this is a righteous judgment of God upon these barbarous wretches’. #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.
