| + | =====Notes===== | ||
| + | Lt Col Kavanagh's detachment was likely taken from one of the regiments of Ormonde's army, possibly [[confederate:foot-regiments:sir-james-dillon|Sir James Dillon’s Regiment of Foot]] or the [[confederate:foot-regiments:earl-of-westmeath|Earl of Westmeath’s Regiment of Foot]], which Cromwell thought were each around 200 strong at Drogheda, but were not mentioned in the Royalist muster of late August. Needs clarification. | ||
