With just 22 knights and 300 soldiers, he marched north from Dublin in the dead of winter, striking at the heart of the kingdom of Ulaid. His target? Downpatrick-the stronghold of King Rory MacDonlevy. Despite fierce resistance, de Courcy’s superior tactics and heavy cavalry overwhelmed the defenders, securing not one but two decisive victories. Even the intervention of sacred relics, possibly linked to St. Patrick himself, could not turn the tide against the Normans.

Lily Kempson was in the Irish Citizen Army, not Cumann na mBan. Furthermore, she settled in Seattle, Washington, not in Scotland.
@@chattyrat3354 Thanks for the info. Should have occurred to me that St Stephen',s Green was a Citizens Army operation, as well ...
Representation of the GPO could.be more accurate. As for the pronunciation of "Cumann na mBan" and even "slan go foill" ... Why do I get the impression that the source of this is less than "Fior Gaelach" ... ?
It's an AI Bot that hasn't done its homework. Lily Kempson was in the Irish Citizen Army, not Cumann na mBan. Furthermore, she settled in Seattle, Washington, not in Scotland.
They are still here today! Under various different names!
Oh my God. What’s this AI storytelling, why don’t you hear about the Sovereign Constitution, unveiled on that momentous day. And no mention of the only all Island vote held in Ireland, that was 107years ago..!
Ronald Reagan was an amazing president. It was however the only time until today that a presidents inauguration was held inside not outside.
Baudy behaviour ??
Fierce Baudy indeed.
They were just kidding about.
