#OnThisDay 1607 Hugh O’Neill & 90 of his followers left Ireland from Rathmullan, Donegal in what became known as “The Flight of the Earls”. They hoped to build an army on the continent & return to Ireland. They never saw home again. O’Neill died in Rome in 1616.
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.
