Compact Warfare – Episode 43: The Battle of the Boyne

On the banks of the River Boyne in July 1690, William III forced a river crossing, turned the Jacobite flank at Slane, and drove James II from the field. In this episode we unpack the plans, the fight at Oldbridge, the upstream maneuver, and the rearguard to Duleek, then trace how Boyne shaped the Williamite War and the wider European struggle with Louis XIV.
