Nine Years War (Ireland)

The Nine Years War in Ireland took place from 1594 to 1603 and is also known as Tyrone's Rebellion. It was fought between the forces of Gaelic Irish chieftains Hugh O'Neill (Earl of Tyrone), Hugh Roe O'Donnell and their allies, against the Elizabethan English government of Ireland. The war was fought in all parts of the country, but primarily in the northern province of Ulster. It ended in defeat for the Irish chieftains, which led ultimately to their exile in the Flight of the Earls and to the Plantation of Ulster. It is not be confused with the Nine Years War of the 1690s, part of which was also fought in Ireland.
