My favourite Chieftains song, The Battle of Aughrim is considered the bloodiest battle in the history of Ireland and was fought at Aughrim in the County Galway in 1691
Forget not the field where they perished--
The truest, the last of the brave;
All gone--and the bright hope they cherished
Gone with them, and quenched in their grave.
"Oh! could we from death but recover
Those hearts, as they bounded before,
In the face of high Heaven to fight over
That combat for freedom once more--
"Could the chain for an instant be riven.
Which Tyranny flung round us then--
Oh!--"tis not in Man, nor in Heaven,
To let Tyranny bind it again!
"But 'tis past; and though blazoned in story
The name of our victor may be,
Accurst is the march of that glory
Which treads o'er the hearts of the free!
"Far dearer the grave or the prison,
Illumed by one patriot name,
Than the trophies of all who have risen
On Liberty's ruins to fame!"

"And as they tread the ruined isle, where dwell at rest the lord and slave, they'll wonderingly ask how hands so vile could conquer hearts so brave" Thomas Moore Inset from the excellent book "Battlefields of Ireland" My ancestors fought with General Sarsfield at the Boyne, Aughrim, Athlone, and Limerick. I am a descendant of the Wild Geese
