After his defeat, James did not stay in Dublin, but rode with a small escort to Duncannon and returned to exile in France, even though his army left the field relatively unscathed. At the time, most casualties of battles tended to be inflicted in the pursuit of an already- beaten enemy; this did not happen at the Boyne, as the counter-attacks of the skilled Jacobite cavalry screened the retreat of the rest of their army, and in addition William was always disinclined to endanger the person of James, since he was the father of his wife, Mary.

  • July at the Museum!
    July at the Museum! Battle of Aughrim, John Mulvaney. The Battle of the Boyne, July 1st 1690. On 1 July 1690, the Battle of the Boyne was fought between King James II's Jacobite army, and the Williamite Army under William of Orange. Despite only being a minor military victory in favour of the Williamites, it has a major symbolic significance. The Battle's annual commemorations by The Orange Order, a masonic-style fraternity dedicated to the protection of the Protestant Ascendancy, remain a topic of great controversy. This is especially true in areas of Northern Ireland where sectarian tensions remain rife. No year in Irish history is better known than 1690. No Irish battle is more famous than William III's victory over James II at the River Boyne, a few miles west of Drogheda. James, a Roman Catholic, had lost the throne of England in the bloodless "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. William was Prince of Orange, a Dutch-speaking Protestant married to James's daughter Mary, and became king at the request of parliament. James sought refuge with his old ally, Louis XIV of France, who saw an opportunity to strike at William through Ireland. He provided French officers and arms for James, who landed at Kinsale in March 1689. The lord deputy, the Earl of Tyrconnell was a Catholic loyal to James, and his Irish army controlled most of the island. James quickly summoned a parliament, largely Catholic, which proceeded to repeal the legislation under which Protestant settlers had acquired land. During the rule of Tyrconnell, the first Catholic viceroy since the Reformation, Protestants had seen their influence eroded in the army, in the courts and in civil government.

  • River Boyne Trail
    Equipment sheets, clipboard, wellies, glass jar, metre stick, string, bucket, The river Boyne has played a major part in Irish history, pencil, small plastic bag commerce and mythology. It is here that the fabled Salmon of Knowledge was caught and along it’s banks at Oldbridge that the Battle of the Boyne was fought. Many famous historical monuments and buildings such as Newgrange, Knowth, Dowth, Slane Castle, and Dunmoe Castle were built alongside it, showing it’s importance as a trade and transport route. The Boyne navigational canal from Drogheda to Navan, which runs alongside the river, began construction in 1759 and was completed by 1800.It was due to go to Trim but never made it that far. It is now owned by An Taisce. The river Boyne is now a special area of conservation, to protect the abundant wildlife that lives alongside and in it.

  • Discover Boyne Valley 2019 Birthplace of Ireland’S Ancient East
    FREE HOLIDAY GUIDE & MAP Discover Boyne Valley 2019 Birthplace of Ireland’s Ancient East discoverboynevalley.ie “The Boyne is not a showy river. It rises in County Kildare and flows gently and majestically through County Meath and joins the sea at Drogheda in County Louth some 112 kilometres later. It has none of the razzmatazz of its sister, the Shannon. It’s neither the longest river in Ireland, nor does it have the greatest flow. What is does have, and by the gallon, is history. In fact, the Boyne Valley is like a time capsule. Travel along it and you travel through millennia of Irish history, from passage tombs that pre-date the Pyramids, to the Hill of Tara, seat of the High Kings of Ireland, all the way to the home of the First World War poet Francis Ledwidge in Slane. It’s the Irish equivalent of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. And you can choose to explore it by car, bicycle, kayak, or by strolling along its banks and the towpaths of the navigation canals that run alongside from Navan to Oldbridge.” Frances Power - Editor, Cara, the Aer Lingus inflight magazine - Boyne Valley Feature, October/November 2014 Pg 68-78 Cara magazine is available online at issuu.com discoverboynevalley.ie Contents The Boyne River 01 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2019 17 Towns & Villages 33 Ireland’s Ancient East 03 Spirits of Meath Halloween Festival 19 Angling 37 Discover Boyne Valley Flavours 05 Walking & Cycling 21 Horse Racing 39 Easy Access 07 Boyne Valley Gardens 23 Golf 41 Adventures & Activities 09 Boyne Valley Crafts 25 Where to Stay 43 Organised and Guided Tours 11 Where is the Boyne Valley 27 Eating Out 49 Music, Arts & Culture 13 Boyne Valley Drive 29 Pubs & Night Clubs 51 Festivals & Events 15 Boyne Valley Drive Sites 31 Craft Distilling, Brewing & Cider Making 54 Photography courtesy of: copterview.ie, tel 086 8672339; jennymatthewsphotography.com, tel 087 2451184; perfectstills.com, tel 086 1740454; and irelandscontentpool.com 01 02 the River Boyne Loughcrew To tell the story of Ireland’s Ancient East we must start at the beginning..

  • The Boyne Greenway and Navigation Restoration What Is Being Proposed? Meath County Council Is Proposing to Develop the Boyne Greenway and Navigation Restoration
    The Boyne Greenway and Navigation Restoration What is being proposed? Meath County Council is proposing to develop the Boyne Greenway and Navigation Restoration. The scope of the project is to create a safe, attractive and environmentally sympathetic canal and river side walking and cycling route in tandem with the sensitive restoration of the Boyne navigation route. The scheme would be approximately 26.5km long and incorporates a study area extending across the river valley. The proposed greenway scheme would extend from the Councillor Andy Brennan Park in Navan Town to the main gates at the Oldbridge Estate. The proposed restoration of the Boyne Navigation would extend from Oldbridge Guard Lock to the canal harbour in Navan. The scheme would therefore route adjacent to some of Ireland’s most significant visitor attractions including the Battle of Boyne site and the UNESCO World Heritage site at Brú na Bóinne. The proposed greenway is envisaged to be a path of typical width between 3.0m to 5.0m depending on physical constraints and anticipated demand. The path would be shared between pedestrians and cyclists. The proposed greenway has the potential to increase tourism and recreational activity while oරering an attractive alternative transport choice for commuters through its links to the large towns of Navan and Drogheda, bringing significant environmental, economic and health benefits to the wider community The Boyne Greenway and Navigation Restoration Scheme has the potential to be a flagship tourism scheme of regional, national and international significance which would provide access the wealth and diversity of ecological, cultural, industrial and historical heritage within the Boyne Valley.

  • The Junior Maguire Clan - 1655 to 1800
    The Junior Maguire Clan - 1655 to 1800 When Brian of Tempo died in 1655, his son Hugh had already fallen five years earlier at the Battle of Glenswilly fighting on the Irish side. The leadership of the junior Maguire family now passed to Cúchonnacht Mór, his five-year-old grandson. The boy inherited many of his father’s attributes and like Hugh, he grew up to become a soldier. Cúchonnacht Mór loosely translates as ‘Constantine the Great’ but the young man proudly bore this Maguire family name in traditional Irish fashion. Later history shows how the transition to the English ‘Constantine’ becomes total and in the succeeding centuries, the Tempo family yielded another three Maguires bearing this distinguished epithet. Brian of Tempo’s greatest achievement was to initiate a new dynasty of Fermanagh Maguires while keeping the family estate solidly in Irish Catholic hands even during the worst persecutions of Oliver Cromwell. When the Lord Protector of England died in 1658, his son Richard Cromwell became his successor. His term in office lasted only until 1660 when the monarchy was restored. The Catholic King Charles II returned from France to take the throne of England. Across the Atlantic in North America, Charles II chartered Carolina to eight London proprietors whose intention was to form a new society based on the English baronial system. Soon these Englishmen recruited settlers from Barbados and other English-controlled colonies. In the 1670s, a group of Barbadians settled on the west bank of the Ashley River and named their new colony Charles Town. Ten years later the settlement moved to the peninsula between the Ashley and Cooper rivers.
