What a huge turning point in Ireland this event was. We are where we are today because of it. If only he succeeded, how different things would be in this country. We can only lament.

The aftermath of the Nine Years War was that for the first time English law was able to be enforced in Ireland beyond the Pale. The main Brehon laws were outlawed and ceased to be used except for in the most isolated areas in the west of Ireland. All of the small kingdoms, chieftains and family dynasties that had characterised Gaelic Ireland since the beginning of written history were finally brought to an end and the land was divided up into counties. The land of the Ulster lords was confiscated after they left for Spain and was given to wealthy English and Protestant english speaking Scots, who undertook to import tenants from their own estates. The new landowners were banned from taking Irish tenants and had to import workers from England/Scotland. The Irish peasants in these areas were moved to worse lands and the planters were given the land they had once had. Nearly 40 years later in 1641 a rebellion planned to be a swift and bloodless seizure of power in strategic locations in Dublin, Wicklow and Ulster, led by Phelim O'Neill, was foiled at the last minute and the rebellion degenerated into chaotic violence. The displaced Irish in Ulster took the opportunity to attack the protestant settlers. Around 4000 protestants were massacred and thousands more displaced. The settlers and Government in Dublin responded with attacks on the civilian Irish population, carrying out massacres of their own. Catholic gentry who had initially raised militia to try and contain the violence in Ulster now realised that all catholics were targets. By 1642 King Charles, as well as the Scottish Covenanters had sent a large army to Ireland to put down the rebellion. Irish Catholics formed their own government, the Catholic Confederation, with its capital in Kilkenny and raised their own armies... And so began another 11 years of war in Ireland. The 11 year war would be the most destructive war in Irish history.

I think this is an excellent documentary, but I would disagree with the characterization of the conflict as a conflict between Irish guerrilla irregulars and conventional English forces. While the Irish certainly excelled in the traditional ambush and skirmish tactics of their terrain, Tyrone's forces in particular were in many ways more modern than those of his English foes. He was forward-thinking, drawing the best from Spanish and English tactics rather than falling back to traditional arms and organization. While admittedly lacking artillery and a strong cavalry component when compared to the English, his infantry were well armed with a higher portion of firearms per company and in many cases better trained than their English counterparts.

Nice and very informative video! but with some errors. At 12:15, referring the Armada, it had 130 ships, not one hundred. Its ships (not all, only the ones that didn't shelter on time at A Coruña) were scatered at the Golf of Biscaya (Biscay Bay) but later regrouped again and sailed towards England as a close and well organized formation, and the number of damaged and sank vessels were far less from the mentioned 32 ships. The "war" against the bad weather (which was much harder than the one against the english navy) was a constant during the whole journey, starting with a storm in that Bay of Biscaya. But the 30-plus ships that sank due to storms, wrecked on the north and western shores of Ireland (3 of them in Streedagh Beach in Co Sligo, as Capitain Francisco de Coellar later wrote to king Felipe II - for more info, visit FB page Spanish Armada Ireland, Grange, Co. Sligo).

How was he a broken man if he kept wanting to fight? Sounds like a true kern (Irish warrior) to me. Also the assumed statement that the Irish were barbarians is a false stereotype that the English used for 100s of years to paint the Irish in a negative light. You might be surprised to find how well dressed the Irish were wearing the Irish tunic dyed with expensive saffron and their textiles were traded all over Europe. Prized for their excellent quality of linen and wool. They were also hired by armies all over Europe as mercenaries. Often winning whole battles on their own before the rest of the army would make it to the battlefield. They also had more favorable laws before the English arrived. If anybody should be called barbaric back then it would be the English.

It was the ancient Celts and Gaels who were overrunning the Britons that caused those Britons to pay for Saxon mercenary warriors to defend them. Trying to apply modern ideas of nation to the past is a non starter. These people swapped sides and attacked each other constantly for local and personal advantage. It was only the Norman conquest and the wiping out of existing Anglo Saxon political leadership that finally united the English as a more singular entity.

The Irish army left the camp in some disorder, while the Spanish support army led by Ocampo tried to stop the English cargo and the ensuing massacre of the Irish. The Irish, following an ancient tradition of the country, abandoned their allies and fled. The Spaniards on their part following what their mothers taught them as children remained on the battlefield and fought. You know, come back with your shield or on the shield
