An English army of approximately 4,000, led by Henry Bagenal, was routed by a Gaelic Irish force under Hugh O'Neill of Tyrone. Bagenal was killed, and about 1,500 English soldiers were killed, with 300 deserting. This decisive Irish victory led to the surrender of Blackwater Fort and significantly escalated the war, prompting increased English military commitment to Ireland.",1789333834413]
