#OTD in 1601 – The Battle of Kinsale | Hugh O’Neill and Red Hugh O’Donnell are heavily defeated by Mountjoy.

Through tactical blunder, it became the focus of a battle that would permanently destroy Ireland’s hopes for independence during this time period. The Spanish forces arrived in Kinsale, Co Cork in September 1601.…
