Unconquered City

[9780955260483]

On the morning of August 9th 1690 the most powerful army in Europe, led by William Prince of Orange, blasted a 300 foot gap in the walls of Limerick and marched into the city. 30,000 professional soldiers drawn from all across Northern Europe fought their way through the narrow streets against just 8,000 badly trained and poorly armed defenders. Only one outcome seemed possible.
But that was not to reckon with the women of Limerick. Arming themselves with kitchen knives, cobblestones and broken bottles they charged the invading army with such ferocity that they stopped it in its tracks and gave their men-folk the chance to regroup and counterattack. The city was saved and the course of Irish and European history changed.
