About
The ‘Nine Years War’ (1593-1603) was one of Ireland’s most brutal conflicts that had significant consequences for the island, not least the end of the old Gaelic order which paved the way for the Plantation of Ulster. Were the Irish a barbarous people that required the strong hand of English rule, or were they more progressive than made out to be? Was Irish defeat in a war against one of the world’s most powerful nations inevitable?
Dr James O’Neill specialised in battlefield archaeology and twentieth-century defence heritage in Northern Ireland for sixteen years. He has published extensively on the Nine Years War, and is now Collections Officer at the Northern Ireland War Memorial Museum, Belfast.
All talks are FREE and in person, and take place in the museum’s historic Assembly Room. Doors open at 6.30pm for tea and coffee on arrival, and talks start promptly at 7pm. Please note there is no allocated seating for this event.
