#OnThisDay 1798 At the Battle of Tory Island, a naval battle between the French & Royal Navy off the coast of Donegal, Theobald Wolfe Tone was taken prisoner when the French flagship Hoche, he was on board, was captured. While O’Dwyer maintained an insurgency in the Wicklow mountains for the next five years, this was the last major action of the 1798 Rebellion.

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.
