{"product_id":"9781846822841","title":"Danish Troops in the Williamite Army in Ireland, 1689-91","description":"About 15% of the troops that fought on the Williamite side at the Battle of the Boyne were Danish. Well organized and equipped with state of the art weapons - flintlock muskets, plug bayonets, grenade guns, and chevaux-de-frises - they were a potent weapon in William III's armory. This book looks at the Danish contingent in William's multi-national force fighting in Ireland in 1689-91. The book examines how the Danish king, Christian V, essentially hired out a portion of his army due to the deplorable state of national finances, his desire to give his troops and officers some valuable combat experience, and his support of a fellow Protestant monarch. It then follows the Danish troops through the course of their Irish campaign, and it utilizes a wide variety of sources to illuminate the leading personalities and key events of the war, as seen particularly from the Danish perspective.","brand":"Four Courts Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038043783408,"sku":"9781846822841","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781846822841_p0.jpg?v=1763746107","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781846822841","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
