		It is probable that the usual three "battles" were drawn up in line, each with its archers on the flanks and the dismounted men-at-arms in the centre; the archers being thrown forward in wedge-shaped salients, almost exactly as at the Battle of Cr cy.
		The closing scene of the battle was a half-hearted attack made by a body of fugitives, which led merely to the slaughter of the French prisoners, which was ordered by Henry because he had not enough men both to guard them and to meet the attack.

	Irish Battles - A Military History of Ireland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		While warfare has been a characteristic of much of Irish history, Irish Battles is the first book to have portrayed the major Irish wars in detail.
		Illustrated in full colour and with plans of each battlefield, it presents a military history of Ireland in the form of connected accounts of the major Irish battles, from Clontarf in 1014 to Arklow in 1798.

	Irish Battles - Kinsale 1601 part 2
		In 1601 the object of the Irish, who remembered 'that their ancestors have been monarchs and provincial kings of this land', was said to be 'by strong hand to regain the crown of Ireland to themselves'; in parenthesis, one wonders what regal dignity they were presumed originally to have possessed - the High Kingship?
		The reality of the Irish war as a desperate struggle with a skilful enemy had been brought home to English men; for the first time they declared their determination to 'wade through seas of Irish blood' to establish their dominion.
		He was too wise to let the Irish cajole him back to the 'dallying times of their deluding parlies' - as Barnaby Rich called the early years of the war-too imaginative to permit another Yellow Ford.

		The United Irish Rebellion began at the tiny village of Boolavogue, in County Wexford, on May 26th, 1798, where the insurgents were led by the legendary Father John Murphy, who told his followers: "It is better to die like fighting men than to be shot down like dogs in the ditches".

		The pike staff, between eight and twelve feet in length, was grounded against the right foot, with the point inclined upwards at an angle, while the pikeman retained a firm grip on the shaft to face a charge of mounted cavalry.

		Some Irish folk-music is very ancient, some has arisen in the last three to four hundred years, and some only in the last century.
		For this reason a four-line rhythm always lies at the basis of most, especially the ancient, Irish melodies, though sometimes it may be a little hidden, and frequently a refrain or conclusion on the harp follows it.
		Some of these ancient songs are even now, when in the largest part of Ireland Irish is understood only by the old people or even not at all, known only by their Irish names or first words.

		What I am concentrating on are 'obscure' or forgotten battles from the years Anno Mundi, the early centuries Anno Domini, and from there up to the medieval/early modern era.
		Folks, one that that is still holding me off creating some stubs or full articles for some of the battles is trying to fix a standard spelling for the names of the battles, as well as those who fought them.
		If we were going to have section like this, I'd put in battles of the Scottish Civil War, which were mainly fought by an Irish Confederate expeditionary force, Fontenoy and other battles fought by the continental Irish Brigades serving with France and Spain, the Napoleonic battles that Irish soldiers in the British army fought in.
