Description

The Jacobite-Williamite War at the close of the 17th era re-shaped the ownership of land, titles, and political power across Ireland, culminating in the historic Flight of the Wild Geese. In King James’s Irish Army List, the legendary 19th-century genealogist and antiquarian John D’Alton delivers an incredibly comprehensive audit of the officers who fought for the Jacobite cause in 1689.

D’Alton looks deeply into primary military rolls, outlawry lists, and attainder logs to evaluate the operational setups of the cavalry, infantry, and dragoon regiments. Crucially, the text goes beyond military tracking, providing massive genealogical profiles, family lineage breakdowns, and land ownership backgrounds for hundreds of historic Irish surnames. Written with functional, systematic precision, this reference masterpiece remains a mandatory asset for advanced family history researchers, military geographers, and academic libraries worldwide.

• Exhaustive Regimental and Officer Logs: Tracks verified names, commissions, and command roles across King James’s complete Irish military force.

• Invaluable Surname Analytics: Provides deep historical overviews and ancestral tracing data for hundreds of prominent Irish families.
