Siege of Kinsale
The Siege or Battle of Kinsale ((アイルランド語:Léigear/Cath Chionn tSáile)) was the ultimate battle in England's conquest of Gaelic Ireland. It took place at the end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, at the climax of the Nine Years War - a campaign by Aodh Mór Ó Néill, Aodh Rua Ó Dónaill and other Irish lords against English rule. Owing to Spanish involvement, and the strategic advantages to be gained, the battle also formed part of the Anglo-Spanish War (1585 -1604), the wider conflict of Protestant England against Catholic Spain.
==Background – The Tudor conquest of Ireland==
(詳細はlordship by the English Crown since 1175, but the actuality of this Lordship was only officially on paper as the reality on the ground was quite the contrary. By the 1350s, the area under government control had shrunk to the Pale, the area around Dublin. The rest of the country was controlled by the Gaelic lordships.
King Henry VIII initiated a policy of conquest and colonisation during the 1530s, pursued by his successors. In 1594, forces in Ulster under the previously loyal Earl of Tyrone, Aodh Mór Ó Néill, supported by Aodh Ruadh Ó Dónaill and Aodh Mag Uidir rebelled (see the Nine Years War (Ireland)). A number of Irish victories seemed to place English control of Ireland in the balance. A long-promised Spanish armada under General Don Juan Del Aquila set sail for Ireland in September 1601, intending to link up with the Irish and defeat the English.
