In hindsight the flight of the earls is remembered as *the* end of native Irish aristocracy, and the next 3 centuries of colonialism directly follow that loss of any real native base of power. m

Now I doubt the man who had led the Irish in the Nine Years War suddenly decided he didn’t actually care about Ireland, so what were his motives for abdicating his titles and leaving the country never to return? Was he trying to rally support in Catholic Europe?

My favourite series, so I'm delighted. Also really excited for the Spanish civil war, rise of Mussolini and Cuban series! (Screenshot taken from the RevolutionsPodcast sub)
