Years: 1627 - 1627
September

Buckingham endeavors to establish a siege around the citadel, but things prove difficult.

The English siege engineer had drowned during the landing, the cannons are too few and too small, and disease starts to take its toll on the English troops as autumn arrives.

Requested supplies from England also prove insufficient.

Irish troops numbering two thousand arrive under Sir Ralph Bingley on September 3, 1627.

A small supply fleet under Sir William Beecher arrives with only four hundred raw troops.
