They appear to have been very heavily defeated at Dungan's Hill, with every company commander captured or killed. By 1649 the regiment had been reconstituted and fought in Ormonde's Royalist army at Rathmines, though they were in reserve and not heavily engaged. Subsequently they were sent to garrison Drogheda and were massacred there after Cromwell's storm of the city. |
