Wexford, Battle Of


Assault on the southern garrison town of Wexford, County Wexford, by Oliver Cromwell's Puritan Parliamentary army in October 1649, during Cromwell's Irish campaign (1649–50). A traitor among the Irish opened the town to the English army, and it was quickly taken. However, over 2,000 people were killed, including many civilians, in scenes reminiscent of the massacre at the Battle of Drogheda in September 1649. The event further fuelled Irish hatred of English rule.
