Siege of Drogheda (1641) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Siege of Drogheda (1641) The first Siege of Drogheda took place in 1641-42, during the Irish Rebellion of 1641. A Catholic force under Féilim Ó Néill (aka Phelim O'Neill) laid siege to the town and assaulted it twice but failed to take it. The siege was broken by English troops sent from Dublin. ==O'Neill's force arrives==
After their victory over government troops at battle of Julianstown, an Irish rebel force under Phelim O'Neill laid siege to Drogheda in December 1641. The rebels, who were mostly from Ulster and about 6000 strong, did not have siege artillery (or indeed any artillery) to breach the walls of Drogheda and so blockaded the town, hoping to starve it into surrender. Drogheda was garrisoned by about 2,000 English soldiers under Colonel Tichborne.
