Resisting the accession of William III, James II and Count Conrad de Rosen besieged Protestant Londonderry in northern Ireland, defended by Major Henry Blake. After 105 days and costly losses on both sides, Colonel Percy Kirke arrived across Lough Foyle to break the blockade. The Catholics withdrew to defeat a few days later at Newtown Butler.
