🚩 Due to popular request we are heading back to Ireland with the Battle of the Yellow Ford. Fought on 14 August 1598 during the Nine Years' War in Ireland, a Gaelic Irish army under Hugh O'Neill of Tyrone met the English crown expeditionary force under the command of Henry Bagenal, marshal of Ulster.
The battle greatly escalated the war. English Crown poured more men and materiel into the conflict, while more Irish lords joined O'Neill's alliance. The Nine Years' War in Ireland, previously fought mostly in Ulster, would soon become a struggle against English control over Ireland as a whole.
You're the Best! ❤❤❤❤
Lovely 🎉
Thanks for more on some of my ancestors

@@Jason-fm4my Not sure bout Robin Hood. Tho I bought the game and it looks well made and its still in early access. Can recommend!
Irish archaeologist and historian from Tyrone here. Great video, the Battle of the Yellow Ford is known as Hugh O’Neill's greatest victory. Just a few pointers for the period. The Gaelic (not gallic) leaders were known as lords rather than (chieftains) which has come to the attention of modern Irish historians as a possible derogatory term used by the English against foreign peoples.
Also, it is debated whether the Nine Years War can be called a (rebellion) of the Irish in the first place, as the English crown had never militarily controlled Tir Eoghain and the other Gaelic lordships in Ulster until after the defeat of Hugh O’Neill and the Flight of the Earls in 1607. Keep up the great work! One of the best history channels on TH-cam.
Do you have other forms of social media? I believe I’m related to Scottish and Irish nobility and I’d like to ask you about the stuff I have found.

@@irishpatriotv2575 I probably know more about your history than you do. I study this stuff.
To causalhistory, this is truly fascinating. I had a strong feeling there was still a lot of things we still don't understand, know or miss regarding the historical complexity and the relationships between England & it's neighbors. Thanks for providing that historical insight for us.
Thomas Percy sounds like this type of MMO player that runs from one fight to another without waiting for a healer to be ready and then blames the healer for not doing his job 😂
@marcinsikocinski4661
Leeroy Jenkins tactics never ends well lol.
Sadly this isn't limited to MMO players. Politicians want to be seen as "serious", yet govern like spoiled kids.
As an Irishman it’s great to see our history being told on a huge channel such as yours, if only our education on our own history was as good as the video ye all produced
Totally agree,classic guerilla warfare
@@elizabethcanavan3755 yep we’re so good at guerilla warfare we may as well have invented it 😆
@@elizabethcanavan3755 not guerrilla war. It was a battle between two large and modern forces
As a Swede I giggle hysterically at how autotranslation makes the weapon pike not a pointy stick, but a fish, Gädda (Esox Lucius). Now I can't help but imagine the Irish fish slapping the English.
@@AR-vq3en this wasnt guerrilla warfare, this was a larger irish army with equal weaponry holding a defensive position
I’m so glad you’re covering Irish history, it’s criminally under looked
Under looked? I think you mean
Ye underlooked
@@seanyoung7713 yep, thank you for the correction, need my morning coffee
Cant imagine why
@@garrettgallagher8551 it’s pretty important
One of my favorite TH-cam channels
This and Kings and Generals channels are both mint.
Great stuff. And excellent point about the Gallowglass. O'Neill modernized to the extent that the English had to copy him to stay in contention. But if he had've kept the Gallowglass quite a few of his victories would have been total annihilations. Look what the Gallowglass did at Curlew Pass for example. Also, for anyone interested in the wider context and details of the Nine Years War, James O'Neill has a great lecture on TH-cam.
Missed out on "plashing" .. the Irish used the trees to create fortifications. They would bend tall trees down and then weave the branches together thereby creating formidable natural barriers .. I believe (though can not prove) the Irish kept open certain passages through these obstacles. This would have allowed the Irish to rapidly redeploy whilst ensuring any pursuing English troops would become hopelessly lost trying to follow the Irish through the undergrowth
The premiers are always so fun to watch and participate in. Keep up the amazing content and please make more Hannibal videos.
Hawk tuah for the algorithm!
Gotta spit on that thang!
mayne you dorks can't even come up with sumn better than tht basic shite, sad hahaha
Hawk tuah 24'
Reaching into a barrel of gun powder while holding a slow match... GENIUS!!!
Sometimes you miss things while lead balls are flying into your friends
Very important things
Love your content historymarche! You're amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate that!
I believe this would make an AMAZING movie. Such intrigue, foreign influence, ambushes, defeat snatched from the jaws of victory...it has it all.
Not a bad video. Great book covering the whole topic is The Nine Years War, 1593-1603: O'neill, Mountjoy and the Military Revolution by James O'Neill.
James O'Neill has a twitter account where he talks about this constantly.
@@triskeliosthelastcelt1303 Is that a good thing or a bad thing?😅
@@jamesoneill7773 very good thing
I'd highly recommend checking out James O'Neill. He has an excellent video on TH-cam on the Nine Years' War.
Superb detail... go raibh míle maith agat.
You are creative. The most beautiful channel I follow from Saudi Arabia.
An excellent and well produced historical documentary on the O’Neill and the Irish rebellion. I hope you do more similar content on the Irish and Scottish wars of independence. Good luck.
0:25 is this the origin of the phrase "Beyond the pale"?
Preparation H and White Petroleum Jelly when mixed together make for a rapid way to stop oral bleeding. This is a trainer’s secret with wrestlers and other martial artists. I was told to comment for the algorithm.
Rofl, fair enough

I'd day this qualifies as a sufficient comment for the algorithm.

Your videos bring these battles to life. Great work. And it's nice to see Ireland getting some attention!
Glad you enjoy it!
Little late for the premiere, will watch it right away! and have to once more say that the video on The Battle of Ankara 1402 is the best video you have ever made by far for me! and I hope you will do more videos alike!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Your premiers are always great❤❤❤❤
Hi HistoryMarche,
Thank you for your new video! The quality is absolutely superb, and the way you detailed the events of the battle was outstanding. Your work always brings history to life in such a vivid and engaging manner. Keep up the fantastic work!😆
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, HistoryMarche!@@HistoryMarche
Love your stuff,keep the great work up
This was an absolutely enthralling battle. I need to see this in a movie.
Literally the best history channel on YT, keep up the good work!
Congratulations on 1.06 million subscribers
Love the content man, it's great to watch this stuff with my Dad.
Rewatching this masterpiece
I love your content, History Marche!
Thanks for the video
great video. thanks again!
For Ireland and the algorithm 🍻
Holy cow I didn’t know about this war! Please the next part! Ty for this great work
As usual, great video !
A thanks. I learn a lot today. I didn't know about this war.
This is soo good 🔥
Great video! I really enjoyed it! Keep up the good work
Great video!
Amazing video as always HM!
Thanks again! Was great seeing you during the premiere
Fantastic detail as always. Love hearing Irish History and would love to hear more.
Always learn something, thank you!
I feel like similar channels give too much information, but Epic History a provides the most in depth and relevant facts!
great video!
I wasn't aware of this campaign. Excellent presentation.
The first engagements were led by lads with shields and swords making the English get complacent thinking any uprising will be small scale against armed peasants at a time when Shot and Pike tactics were in bloom
Great video😊
When Chicago was lobbying for the Olympics, camp Randall was one of two stadiums that were likely to be the cremony host site.
To be the host stadium, you need to have a capacity of
75,000. Soldier field only holds 61,500. Other stadium considered was Notre Dame.
love your videos
great show
What a commander Wingfield was to take control at short notice in such a dire situation!
This video is great, you guys should consider making a video on the battles of Breintenfeld and Lutzen on the same vibes as the battle of ankara, those were absolutely titanic clashes and only a few know about them
Working on Breitenfeld now.
@@HistoryMarche YESSS thank you guys, love your videos! I REALLY recommend you guys give the battle of Ankara treatment to Lutzen, it's was probably the most titanic and climatic clash of the early modern period! I do think Breitenfeld also deserves the same love but it's more of a prelude if we consider what came after
Thank you for covering irish history.
Thanks
outstanding
good stuff!
Excellent!
Many thanks!
Amazing video, love Irish history
Nice explanation
Oooh, this was a *good* one!
Fantastic explanation of this period of Irish history, so many 'what if' incidents.
Great example of a defending force using the terrain to defeat an invading enemy. Percy rushing forward when the rest of his column was strung out sealed the deal. They should have known it was a trap. Had he waited, the artillery could have been put to much better use to punch holes on troops blocking them before advancing full on.
Posted on my birthday thanks
Happy birthday!
Do the Battle of Benburb next.
my favorite youtube channel
Its awesome to knowabout this not so famous battles
Would love to hear more about this time in Ireland
"Curse and swear, Lord Kildare, Fiach will do what Fiach will dare.
Now Fitzwilliam, have a care, fallen is your star low.
Up with halberd, out with sword, on we go for by the Lord.
Fiach MacHugh has given the word; Follow me up to Carlow!"
The word "Gaelic" is pronounced differrently in Ireland from in Scotland. "ae" is prononounced as "ay" in Ireland. Gallowglass were often of mixed Norse-Gael background from the Western Isles of Scotland.
Gaylic 😭
love bellwright
Hugh O’Neill almost pulled it off. The Gael’s last gasp.
Madness presentation.
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage episode about the yellow fort battle between Irish confidrate armies and England invaded column ..at 1598 AD where Spanish military aid for Irish lords was notable in several occasional ...English forces focused on Ulstear region subduing.besides attempting to conquered whole Irelands .. thank you 🙏 ( historyMarche) channel for sharing
Rest of Ireland subdued and Ulster last Gaelic holdout.
I Neill happy to be under English but they insisted language and culture must go plus they kept pushing settlers.
@@knoll9812@knoll9812 At this stage in the war, most of Ireland was controlled by Irish confederates, saving walled towns and garrisons. Greater still when victory at Yellow Ford precipitated a revolt in
Fascinating! More Irish history please!
Good video
Loved the video. Wil their be anymore video's on this war?
Likely, yes.
Great as usual,,,,thank u a lot btw any updates regarding hannibal next episode plz,,,,thanks again
Coming
Im directly related to the o neil clan. They are in my ancestry line on my fathers side, dating all the way to this battle and even before. I didn't know they were so powerful back then. Especially since they aren't any more. Also, im related on my mothers side to an irish or welsh ruler from the 10 or 1100s as well... at this rate, im just waiting to wake up one day and be informed that i have just inherited land or a castle somewhere in Ireland... lol
Very interesting
love this channel ! a token for the god of algorithm!
Great video, more Irish history please.
So we know a guy blew himself and others up. Both sides in close proximity must have been like "Wait, he's not doing what i think he's doing...."
Great video! Best youtube channel for sure. Myn wife thinks im obsessed 😝
I love your videos. But when you said "kill Kenny" all I could think was South park. I had no idea that place existed
lol no pun intended.
Seems like the constant trend throughout history is that those leaders who employ terrain, barriers, obstacles, etc. while doing ambushes always seem to come out victoriously.
COMMENT FOR THE ALGORITHM
I’m 100% playing M2TW: Britannia after this.
Nice to see some Nine Years War stuff :) Though I did flinch every time 'Gaelic' was pronounced 'Gallic' :D 'Gael' is the same as 'gale' ;)
🐐 of TH-cam🔥💯
Epic
Amazing video 📹
Is there a follow-up?
Hi History Marche.... Great tale of the battle and well presented. I know sourcing exact numbers for this time period are really hard, but the casualties for both sides doesn't seem to be in anyway accurate. 2/3s of the English Army wasn't fully engaged and the front division actually [stupidly] counterattacked which doesn't suggest a massacre. The Irish would have been very slow to cross the yellow trench and chase the English down. The English have a decent amount of firepower and fought 'close-in' with the Irish [who didn't have a large number of close combat troops] for a long time before being pushed back. I'd suggest lower English and higher Irish deaths... but I'm only guessing.
All sections of the English army were engaged, just Percy's destroyed on the other side of the trench. Bagenal's and Cosby's regiments were badly mauled in utile counterattack. English claimed just 800 of 4k killed, but only around 2k returned from Armagh. Including 300 who defected to Tyrone, we're still looking at 1.5k killed. There only ever were guesstimates on Tyrone's losses. Irish deployed much greater numbers of shot than the English
I always like Irish history.
Soo brave men
Cudowne zwycięstwo.
I want to watch the follow-up to this one
Super👍👍👍
Perfect voice for these videos
0:30 Hence the term: "Beyond The Pale"
This is one of the weirdest battles i have ever seen
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beyond the Pale 👍
