	Siege of Clonmel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Siege of Clonmel took place in April - May 1650 during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland when the town of Clonmel in County Tipperary, Ireland was besieged by Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army.
		The town was defended by Hugh Dubh ("Black Hugh") O’Neill, a veteran of siege warfare in the Thirty Years' War and experienced soldiers from the Irish Ulster army.
		As a result he tried to take Clonmel immediately by assault, rather than opt for a lengthy siege.Cromwell’s artillery battered a breach in the town walls, which his infantry was supposed to storm and then open the main town gate to let in Cromwell himself and the Parliamentarian cavalry.

	Clonmel: Its Monastery, and Siege by Cromwell
		The monastery of St. Francis, at Clonmel, justly ranked among the most splendid of the many houses belonging to that order in Ireland, and even to the present day a small community of the friars retain a portion of their ancient church, where they continue to celebrate the divine mysteries.
		We now return to Clonmel, which, as we shall see, was destined to be the scene of a grand and thrilling incident, just fourteen years after Father Baron had looked his last on the bell tower of the old Franciscan monastery, which continued to flourish till Cromwell took possession of the town.
		It was not, however, till 1650 that Clonmel earned for itself that proud distinction in the military history of this country that was accorded to it, however reluctantly, by Cromwell himself, after the memorable siege.

		Dublin was declared to be in a state of siege; courts martial were established; arms were distributed to the Protestant citizens, and some Catholics; and all strangers were ordered to quit the city under pain of death.
		Whenever the Catholics were fairly matched in the open field, they were generally successful, as at Julianstown, during this siege, where one of their detachments cut off five out of six companies marching from Dublin to reinforce the town; but though the investment was complete, the vigilant governor, Sir Henry Tichburne, successfully repulsed the assailants.
		After a ten-weeks' siege, however, and the expenditure of 19,000 pounds of powder, the Confederates retook the fort, in spite of all the efforts made for its relief.

		The Earl of Ormond, with the main body of his army, remained at Clonmel and its vicinity watching Cromwell, till sickness and the approach of winter drove the siege of Waterford to an abortive termination; and then, after having posted a large body of Ulster men at Clonmel, he withdrew to Kilkenny.
