57.2 Battles of the Boyne and Aughrim 1690
At the battles of the Boyne and of Aughrim 1690, a force of Irish Catholics, supported by Louis XIV of France, fought against a multi-national army commanded by William of Orange, head of the Dutch Republic, who was also the newly crowned King of England following a successful coup known as the Glorious Revolution 1688. The battles paved the way for English domination of the British Isles through the military suppression of the Irish, and in time Britain became more politically united.www.patreon.com/historyeuropeIntro music by Nico Vettese (wetalkofdreams.com) Hosted on Acast.

56.1 Glorious Revolution 1688
In 1688 a large invasion arrived in England from the Dutch Republic, led by William of Orange. It was a risky move, driven partly out of fear of the English allying with Louis XIV of France, who was threatening to attack his country. King James II of England was fast losing popular support for his Catholic sympathies, a fact exploited in William's propaganda to the English.www.historyeurope.netwww.patreon.com/historyeuropeMusic: Henry Purcell (Overture in G minor, Gordion Knot Untied)Intro by Nico Vettese (wetalkofdreams.com)Picture: William III Landing at Brixham, Torbay Hosted on Acast.
