#OnThisDay 1650 Hugh Dubh O’Neill inflicts the highest number of casualties (3000) on Oliver Cromwell’s army at the Siege of Clonmel. Cromwell negotiated fair terms of surrender with the mayor not knowing that O’Neill’s army had already slipped out of the town.
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.
