Treaty of Limerick
The Treaty of Limerick ((アイルランド語:Conradh Luimnigh)) ended the Williamite War in Ireland between the Jacobites and the supporters of William of Orange and concluded the Siege of Limerick. The treaty really consisted of two treaties, both of which were signed on 3 October 1691. Reputedly they were signed on the ''Treaty Stone'', an irregular block of limestone which once served as a mounting block for horses. This stone is now displayed on a pedestal in Limerick, put there to prevent souvenir hunters from taking pieces of it.〔http://limerickslife.com/treaty-stone/〕 Because of the treaty, Limerick is sometimes known as the ''Treaty City''.〔(University College Cork - The Treaty of Limerick, 1691 )〕〔(Limerick City: A Bit of History - The Treaty of Limerick )〕
==Background==
After his victory at the Battle of Boyne in July 1689, William III had issued the Declaration of Finglas which offered a pardon to Jacobite soldiers but excluded their senior officers from its provisions. This encouraged the Jacobite leaders to continue fighting and they won a major victory during the 1690 Siege of Limerick. However, defeats the following year at the Battle of Aughrim and the second siege of Limerick left the Williamites victorious. Nonetheless the terms they offered to Jacobite leaders at Limerick were considerably more generous than those a year earlier at Finglas.
