A 17th century plan of the Battle of the Boyne, a battle on 1st July 1690, between the forces of the deposed King James II, and those of King William III who had acceded to the Crowns of England and Scotland in 1689. The battle took place across the River Boyne close to the town of Drogheda in Ireland, and resulted in a victory for William. This turned the tide in James's failed attempt to regain the British crown and ultimately aided in ensuring the continued Protestant ascendancy in Ireland.
