đ© 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! â€â€â€â€
Lovely đ

@@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 OâNeill'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 OâNeill and the Flight of the Earls in 1607. Keep up the great work! One of the best history channels on CZcams.
Do you have other forms of social media? I believe Iâm related to Scottish and Irish nobility and Iâd 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.
As an Irishman itâs 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 weâre so good at guerilla warfare we may as well have invented it đ
@@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, GĂ€dda (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
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 đ
@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.
Iâm so glad youâre covering Irish history, itâs 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 itâs pretty important
One of my favorite CZcams 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 CZcams.
The premiers are always so fun to watch and participate in. Keep up the amazing content and please make more Hannibal videos.
I believe this would make an AMAZING movie. Such intrigue, foreign influence, ambushes, defeat snatched from the jaws of victory...it has it all.
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
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
Same thing happened in India with the thousand mile thorn bush salt tax barrier.
@@robleahy5759 That is interesting
What is a salt tax barrier?
Video is good
Misses of a key part the front and middle of the English army got crushed .. only the rear escaped
@@dendradwar9464 I seriously think the ancient Irish made bramble fortifications and loopholes
Love your content historymarche! You're amazing đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„
I appreciate that!
Superb detail... go raibh mĂle maith agat.
This was an absolutely enthralling battle. I need to see this in a movie.
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

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?đ
@@jamesoneill7773 very good thing
I'd highly recommend checking out James O'Neill. He has an excellent video on CZcams on the Nine Years' War.
You are creative. The most beautiful channel I follow from Saudi Arabia.
An excellent and well produced historical documentary on the OâNeill and the Irish rebellion. I hope you do more similar content on the Irish and Scottish wars of independence. Good luck.

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!
0:25 is this the origin of the phrase "Beyond the pale"?
Yes, you are correct đ (commenting this from within the pale)
Your videos bring these battles to life. Great work. And it's nice to see Ireland getting some attention!
Glad you enjoy it!
For Ireland and the algorithm đ»
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!đ

What a commander Wingfield was to take control at short notice in such a dire situation!
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.
Holy cow I didnât know about this war! Please the next part! Ty for this great work
Great video! I really enjoyed it! Keep up the good work
As usual, great video !
A thanks. I learn a lot today. I didn't know about this war.
Thanks for the video
Amazing video as always HM!
Thanks again! Was great seeing you during the premiere
great video. thanks again!
Always learn something, thank you!
Fantastic detail as always. Love hearing Irish History and would love to hear more.
This is soo good đ„
I feel like similar channels give too much information, but Epic History a provides the most in depth and relevant facts!
I wasn't aware of this campaign. Excellent presentation.
Great video!
Thank you for this post.
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
love your videos
great video!
Great videođ
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 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.
Rewatching this masterpiece
Thank you for covering irish history.
great show
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' ;)
Posted on my birthday thanks
Happy birthday!
Fantastic explanation of this period of Irish history, so many 'what if' incidents.
good stuff!
Fascinating! More Irish history please!
Thanks
Amazing video, love Irish history
Oooh, this was a *good* one!
Hugh OâNeill almost pulled it off. The Gaelâs last gasp.
Nice explanation
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 đ
Its awesome to knowabout this not so famous battles
Excellent!
Many thanks!
love bellwright
History enthusiast from Serbia here. Beautiful video, I love Irish history (and people) - I think we have far more in common than people think.
I didn't know about this rebellion (huge mistake - I know), so I thank HM for making this video and making me Google up stuff! đ
I have a question for you history guys: is there a documented relation between this O'Neill and those High Kings of Ireland O'Neil? Or is just a coincidence?
P.S. Ăirinn go BrĂĄch!
Same aristocratic family
Would love to hear more about this time in Ireland
my favorite youtube channel
outstanding
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 đ ( 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
Great as usual,,,,thank u a lot btw any updates regarding hannibal next episode plz,,,,thanks again
Coming
Loved the video. Wil their be anymore video's on this war?
Likely, yes.
Madness presentation.
Great video, more Irish history please.
Very interesting
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
Good video
love this channel ! a token for the god of algorithm!
Iâm 100% playing M2TW: Britannia after this.
Great video! Best youtube channel for sure. Myn wife thinks im obsessed đ
OâNeil played a blinder here as not only did he put his forces on an equal footing with their opponents technologically. He set the perfect trap to Lure the English government army to disaster with classic hit and run and ambush tactics. English army only escaped destruction due to both sides running out of powder.
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...."
Perfect voice for these videos
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.
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.
COMMENT FOR THE ALGORITHM

I want to watch the follow-up to this one
Amazing video đč
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
This is one of the weirdest battles i have ever seen
Superđđđ
I always like Irish history.
Soo brave men
