#OnThisDay 1600 Lord Mountjoy & his English army tried to force their way through the Moyry Pass to Armagh. They were stopped by Hugh O’Neill who fought them for hours until Mountjoy had to withdraw. Mountjoy tried again days later but again was forced back. Mountjoy then left for Dundalk and O’Neill left the Pass unguarded.
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.
