James has worked to build an army…
July 1690 CE
James has worked to build an army in Ireland, but is ultimately defeated when William arrive, personally leading an army.
The country divides denominationally, but the real issue is not religion but land.
William defeats James at the Battle of the Boyne on July 11, 1690, and reasserts English control of Ireland, although the rebellion is to continue for a further year until the Orange army gains control.
