William III secured victory over the Catholic army of James II on the Boyne in July and captured Dublin, then besieged the Irish port of Limerick, defended by Patrick Sarsfield Lord Lucan. After William’s siege train was intercepted and destroyed (10 August) and a costly assault failed (27 August), the King raised the siege. The town was taken a year later.
