Description

As part of the departed spirits of the Limerick series. Patrick Sarsfield, 1st Earl of Lucan, was an Irish soldier, and leading figure in the Jacobite army during the 1689 to 1691 Williamite War in Ireland. As the leader of the "War Party", by late 1690 he largely controlled Jacobite military strategy and was given the title Earl of Lucan. Their position became hopeless after Aughrim in July, and Sarsfield helped negotiate the 1691 Treaty of Limerick ending the war. It included an agreement under which thousands of Irish soldiers went into exile in France, later known as the "Flight of the Wild Geese". Many served in the Nine Years' War, including Sarsfield, who was killed at the Battle of Landen in 1693.
