Description

General Percy Kirke (c. 1647-91) remains a controversial figure in British and Irish history, remembered in Somerset as a brutal commander whose actions devastated the region following the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1685. His role in the failed expedition to relieve the Siege of Londonderry in 1689 cemented his notoriety in Northern Ireland, where his assumed treachery nearly led to the city's downfall before sailors in a rowing boat lifted the blockade. This Bloomsbury Academic publication explores Kirke's pivotal involvement in some of the most significant events of the later Stuart period, including his tenure as the last governor of the colony of Tangier. This scholarly work provides essential context for understanding military command, colonial administration, and the turbulent politics of 17th-century Britain and Ireland during a transformative era.

Key Features

This Bloomsbury Academic biography examines General Percy Kirke's military career and his controversial actions during the later Stuart period.

The book covers Kirke's command at the Siege of Londonderry in 1689 and his role in one of the most infamous episodes of Irish history.

Includes detailed analysis of Kirke's tenure as the last governor of Tangier, a key colonial posting in the 17th century.

Explores how Kirke's legacy reflects broader themes of military authority and political instability in 1680s Britain and Ireland.

An essential historical resource for scholars studying the English Civil War aftermath and the Stuart Restoration period.
