The 2019 Walled City History Lecture, delivered by Dr Pádraig Lenihan NUI Galway.

“Cities under Siege: Derry and Clonmel 1649-50”

The 1649 Parliamentarian-Royalist Siege of Derry is often overlooked in favour of the very famous Jacobite-Williamite Siege of 1689, but it is just as interesting. With an illustrated talk – “Cities under Siege: Derry and Clonmel 1649-50”, Dr Pádraig Lenihan of NUI Galway will discuss Derry’s Other Siege (1649) and Cromwell at Clonmel (1650). Pádraig is a specialist in seventeenth-century Irish history and warfare.
