The Nine Year War in Ireland took place in Ireland from 1593 to 1603. The rebellion was led by Hugh O'Neill and Red Hugh O'Donnell and was a response to the Tudor Conquest in Ireland. The rebellion began in Ulster but eventually spread throughout the whole country. There were some significant Irish victories such as Clontibret and Yellow Ford but the Battle of Kinsale saw the English win a pivotal victory against the Irish and their Spanish allies. (Unfotunately, when we were discussing the marriages of Hugh O'Neill, we referred to Mabel Bagenal as the former wife of Henry Bagenal. She was Henry's sister and she eloped with Hugh O'Neill, much to the anger of Henry Bagenal.) We have recently started a Patreon page for The Irish Story website and The Irish History Show.

In 1980, while Texaco was drilling in Lake Peigneur, a sinkhole opened up and drained the lake, swallowing the drilling platform, and several boats and barges in the process. The 10 foot deep lake was popular for fishing, and was the backdrop for a botanical garden. On November 20th, approximately 2.5 billion gallons of water drained from the lake, along with the boats, several acres of land, and trees. The direction of water flowing to the Gulf of Mexico temporarily reversed, created a 164 foot waterfall. The lake is now 200 feet deep and brackish, after refilling in a matter of days.In the 1690s, the Scottish Darien Company attempted to establish a colony, on what is now Panama. Scotland was behind in the race to exploit new worlds, and hoped to establish a trade route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, for power and riches. The brainchild of William Patterson, the initial expedition included 5 ships and 1200 people. Funded by the Scots, the scheme eventually consumed around 20% of the entire wealth of Scotland, essentially bankrupting the country. This financial disaster followed the Seven Ill years, and the Nine Years War, in with 5-20% of the population perished. The Scheme is largely credited with causing the unification of Scotland and England, in the 1707 Acts of Union.Lake Peigneur Drilling Accident - YouTubeLake Peigneur - WikipediaDarien Scheme - WikipediaThe Darien Scheme - Historic U.K.Company of ScotlandSeven Ill YearsMasacre of Glencoe
In part four of my review of Neal Stephenson's THE CONFUSION, we see the high point of Eliza's character, as she uses the Nine Years War to destroy an alchemist banker (sort of) villain. It all comes down to the emergence of new banking systems in Western Europe.

Just as soon as William III could free himself up from wars in the British Isles, to secure his throne (and his wife Mary II's), he got stuck into the fighting on the Continent, on behalf of his home country of Holland. This was the Nine Years War, where the Grand Alliance fought to block the attempts of Louis XIV's France to win the territory it needed to give it what it regarded as defensible borders (its 'natural' borders). It might have looked as though France was championing Catholicism against Protestant Holland, except that the Grand Alliance included Catholic states, most notably the major power Austria and the waning but still significant one, Spain. Getting the religion right obviously mattered, but never as much as serving the national interest. This was the Nine Years' War, and nine years was a long time for pre-industrial economies to wage war. In the end, exhausted, the combatants were forced to the negotiating table. Changes were small, and the biggest questions left unanswered. The biggest of them all is what would happen once the inbred, deeply ill and childless king of Spain, Charles II, died. Who'd inherit his throne and his country's still considerable territories? By not deciding such pretty crucial matters, the powers only left them to provoke another war in the near future. Just as soon as the Spanish king died. Which he did, not three years later.

The Nine Years' War (1688–1697) was a conflict between France and a European coalition which included the Holy Roman Empire, the Dutch Republic, England, Spain, Savoy and Portugal. It was fought in Europe and the surrounding seas, in North America, and in India. The war encompassed the Williamite war in Ireland and Jacobite risings in Scotland, where William III and James II struggled for control of England and Ireland www.patreon.com/historyeuropeMusic composed by Louis de Caix d'HerveloisIntro music by Nico Vettese (wetalkofdreams.com) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The Nine Years War almost halted the piratical career of Henry Every before the Spanish Expedition even left port.
The early years of the Nine Years War saw dozens of Privateering Commissions handed out to ships intended to raid West African slaver outposts. One of those ships, Amity under Captain Thomas Tew, chose to ignore that commission and sail instead for Adam Baldridge's pirate haven at St. Mary's.
In July 1690 the English fought a pitched naval engagement against France that would define the future of the Nine Years War and turn hundreds of Royal Navy men and privateers away from service and toward a life of piracy.
The Battle of Bantry Bay was the first sea battle between England & France since 1545 and the first major sea battle of the Nine Years War. It also includes a ton of people who are important to our story before they were important.
This is the story of the beginnings of the Nine Years War in America. We return to Fort Loyal, visit Port Royal (not that one), talk Indian allies, French & English colonial friction, and the conflict called Father Castin's War.
The Nine Years War first major (non-Continental) front was in Ireland. It was there that King James' fate was sealed, that England's course was set, and that a whole generation of young Irish sailors learned what the English crown meant to them.
A turning point in Irish history from Late Medieval to Early Modern and how the Irish began modernising their military tactics to counter English oppression.

It's time we discussed the colonization of North America. The Nine Years War will introduce the world to pirates from New York, Boston, and Providence that will shape our story. However, North America's story is replete with pirates from the very beginning.
We're discussing the outbreak of the Nine Years War. The Huguenot population were pushed into exile, many to England, where they fed into the anti-Catholic, anti-Stuart movement. William III taking the English throne changed the dynamics drastically and what was supposed to be a quick war turned into something much bigger.
In our lead up to the Nine Years War, we're talking about France. This is the early reign of King Louis XIV. That means the power struggles within the Bourbon Dynasty, Cardinal Richelieu, Cardinal Mazarin, a host of powerful women, and the Fronde.
Alan is back in town! The Sons of History discuss his trip to Pittsburgh, the place known for the start of the Seven Years War. We discuss the Nine Years War, Queen Anne's War, King George's War, the Seven Years War, a young George Washington, and how it all led to the American Revolution. Listen in and learn how it all got rolling for America.
It's an old story from a new perspective today. We're talking about Francois Groignet & Raveneau de Lussan as they embark on the Second Pacific Adventure. French pirates in his fleet will command the stage for this next chapter in pirate history and push us into The Nine Years War and the shift toward the Red Sea.
When Queen Elizabeth wanted to punish Robert Devereux for his imprudent behavior at court, she placed him in charge of handling the Irish rebels and sent him off to Ireland with strict instructions on how to handle that situation. His campaign was ultimately unsuccessful, due to reasons that can, and have, filled volumes on the history of the Nine Years War, as well as the Irish Rebellion, but where this elaborate Irish history finds an intriguing connection to Shakespeare is hidden in a seemingly nonsensical line about the death of Irish rats in Shakespeare’s play, As You Like It. In a single line Shakespeare invokes a popular legend about the ability of Irish poetry to kill rats by rhyming them to death. While the bard could simply be referencing the power of words here, we’ve invited an expert on Irish legends, poetry, and Shakespeare, Dr. Kelly Fitgerald, to sit down with us and take us back to 1599 when As You Like It was written, as well as the year Essex was sent to Ireland, and explain what this line implies with its’ suggestion of outright political commentary by Shakespeare, during a time when it was quite dangerous for a playwright write something so pointed.
