It was a morning in July in 1690.
Two great armies were converging on the River Boyne.
On the left you had King James of Scotland with 26,000 men.
James arrived at the Boyne first and set up his great tents and cannons and he waited.
On the other side you had King William, Prince of Orange with 30,000 men.
As William rolled through the narrow country lanes of Ireland on that hot sunny July morning
in 1690, he was armed with the latest in artillery that day.
Finally William too arrived at the Boyne and set up camp and prepared to do battle.
Then at 8 o'clock in the morning of the 1st of July 1690, the battle of the Boyne started.
The fighting lasted throughout the day until 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
1 ,500 men were killed in that day.
James fled the battlefield and William, Prince of Orange was victorious.
