An illustrated account of the events leading up to the momentous battle on 1 July that would decide the fate of the crown of England.

In April 1685, James II ascended the English throne. An overt Catholic, James proved unpopular with his Protestant subjects, and a group of nobles invited the Dutch prince William of Orange to take the throne in the Glorious Revolution of 1688; James II fled to France. James returned in 1689, a French fleet landing him at Kinsale in Ireland. On 14 June 1690, William led an army to Ireland and came face-to-face with the Jacobites along the banks of the Boyne near Drogheda.

Michael McNally describes the battle with a step-by-step analysis; illustrated with detailed maps, birds-eye-views and full colour battlescene artwork.
