HISTORY OF THE IRISH BRIGADES IN THE SERVICE OF FRANCE by John Cornelius O’Callaghan From the Revolution in Great Britain and Ireland Under James II, to the Revolution in France Under Louis XVI. The wild geese’ as Irish mercenaries in Europe were known, were renowned as first class fighting men. Forced to flee their native island after the defeat and expulsion of the Catholic King James II, the Irish Brigades followed their master to his exile in France. Fed by continual drafts of fresh exiles from Ireland, the Brigades served both the Stuart (or Jacobite) causes, and that of the French Crown. Eventually the emancipation of the Catholics in Britain and the French revolution dried up the source of recruits and helped ensure that Irish military services would be given to Britain. This history, illustrated with several portraits, is rich and full and cannot fail to be of interest to British, as well as to Irish, readers.
