It has been used in the following cases: ==Historic events== * 1209, Dublin – when a group of 500 recently arrived settlers from Bristol were massacred by warriors of the Gaelic O'Byrne clan. The group had left the safety of the walled city of Dublin to celebrate Easter Monday near a wood at Ranelagh, when they were attacked without warning. Although now a relatively obscure event in history, it was commemorated by a mustering of the Mayor, Sheriffs and soldiers on the day as a challenge to the native tribes for centuries afterwards. * 14 April 1360, Paris – when inclement weather killed men and horses in the army of Edward III during the Hundred Years' War. * 24 February 1689.
