- In 1602 Dunboy castle, in the Beara peninsula, was the site of a brutal siege. The castle was the seat of Domhnall Cam O'Sullivan Beare, though he was not present during the siege. Its 140 defenders were faced by a much larger force under George Carew, Lord President of Munster. Although the garrison fought valiantly the castle was taken quickly. The surviving members of the garrison were shown no mercy. All were hung. Also linked to the siege was another massacre, this time on Dursey Island.

Thank you! This was fantastic. My family (Sullivan) emigrated from Bere Island.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I also hope that you have been back to Bere Island and the Beara Peninsula. Beautiful places
We're likely to be distant cousins. Well met, brethren. ☘

Super!!! You are just so knowledgeable and really bring the back stories to life....thank you!
Thank you very much Nikki!!!
Excellent research, very informative and complete. The relationship between Spain and Gaelic Ireland is something I would like to learn more about. Thanks
Thanks! The relationship between the Gaelic Irish and the Spanish is interesting, because in Gaelic mythology the Gaelic Irish arrived in Ireland from Iberia. Thus, the Gaelic Irish at times told the Spanish that they were Spanish 🙂
Thanks again for this mate. I think some of my ancestors were involved in the 9 years war
They could well have been!
Great Video, Some amazing views filmed there, the pictures you see online do not do it justice.
They do not. Being there in person is so different. It is really worth a visit. In fact, the whole peninsula is

Just found your video from Reddit. I’m five minutes in and felt compelled to go to this page and say: thank you! Great video. I’m just curious did you use your own Drone footage? Seriously impressive my man!!!
Thank you very much. A lovely comment to receive. All the footage is my own - but I don't have a drone. One day I will get one, but for now I film everything from the ground (or on top of castles, monuments!)
