Early History 1169-1704
The Battle of Benburb

Eoghan Rua was a superb military strategist and scored an impressive victory over a Scottish army at Benburb in County Tyrone in 1646.

In England Charles I was now in open conflict with the English parliament and O'Neill's victory over the Scottish was seen as a victory for the king.

But in 1649 Charles was defeated, tried and executed.
