#OnThisDay 1745 At the Battle of Fontenoy, the Irish Brigade of the French Army charged the English & allied army as the French line was about to collapse shouting Remember Limerick & the Saxon betrayal!! This attack clutched French victory from defeat.
When King George II heard of the loss he was quoted as saying (of the Irish);
“Cursed be the laws that deprive me of such subjects.”

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.
