Sorley Boy and other Scots also thought it prudent to send their wives, children, elderly and sick to the Island for safety.〔 Acting on the instructions of Sir Henry Sidney and the Earl of Essex, Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Norreys took the castle by storm. Drake used two cannons to batter the castle and when the walls gave through, Norreys ordered direct attack on 25 July.〔 〕 The Captain was killed and Constable of the garrison surrendered. Norreys set the terms of surrender:〔 the Constable, his family and one of the hostages were given safe passage and all other defending soldiers were killed, and 〔 next morning, 26 July 1575, Norreys' forces hunted the old, sick, very young and women who were hiding in the caves. Despite the surrender, they killed all the 200 defenders and more than 400 civilian men, women and children.〔 The people killed were families of followers of Sorley Boy MacDonnell.〔John Sugden, ''Sir Francis Drake'', Simon Schuster New York, ISBN 0-671-75863-2〕 Sir Francis Drake was also charged with the task of preventing any Scottish reinforcement vessels reaching the Island. The entire family of Sorley Boy MacDonnell perished in the massacre.〔 Essex, who ordered the killings, boasted in a letter to Francis Walsingham, the queen's secretary and spymaster, that Sorley Boy MacDonnell watched the massacre from the mainland helplessly and was "like to run mad from sorrow".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rathlin Island Massacre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
