Donegans Monasterboice Inn

Thursday 10th July 2014

6.30pm-7.15pm

Followed by Dinner (optional)   

Hear an expert bring it to life and explain how it changed Irish and European history forever: the people, the confusion, the uniforms, the mistakes and what really happened 

The Battle of the Boyne, which was fought in 1690, is commemorated on both sides of the divide that stands between Northern Ireland under British Sovereignty and the Southern Republic of Ireland.  This was not a religious battle but a political one.  There was indeed a religious aspect but this only played a minor role.

  the uniforms, the mistakes and what really happened.

  

The Monasterboice Inn was the home of Thomas Sarsfield, once the Innkeeper at Monasterboice, who may have been a relative of the famous Irish General, Patrick Sarsfield.

 

Both the retiring Jacobite Army and the advancing Williamites passed near Monasterboice on ther march to the Boyne.
