| + | commemorating the two assaults by William of Orange on the Jacobite | ||
| + | stronghold of Limerick in 1690 and 1691 | ||
| + | By then, it was late August. Winter was approaching, | ||
| + | and William wanted to finish the war in Ireland so | ||
| + | that he could return to the Netherlands and get | ||
| + | on with the main business of the War of the Grand | ||
| + | Alliance against the French. For that reason, he | ||
| + | decided on an all-out assault on Limerick. | ||
| + | William's men had suffered about 3,000 casualties, | ||
| + | including many of their best Dutch, Danish, German | ||
| + | and Huguenot troops. The Jacobites had lost only | ||
| + | 400 men in the battle. The worsening weather made | ||
| + | William call off the siege and put his troops into | ||
| + | winter quarters, where another 2,000 of them died | ||
| + | of disease. William himself left Ireland shortly | ||
| + | afterwards and returned to London. | ||
