Most of the following is searchable…

Desmond Rebellions

A series of rebellion by the Earl of Desmond dynasty against English rule. The wars were mostly fought using guerrilla tactics and there were many small engagements and relatively few pitched battles.

First Desmond Rebellion 1569-73
• 1569 -Siege of Kilkenny
• 1571 -Sack of Kilmallock

Second Desmond Rebellion 1579-1583
• 1579 - Aenachbeg
• 1579 - Sack of Youghal
• 1579 - Sack of Kinsale
• 1580 - Battle of Glenmalure
• 1580 - Siege of Carrigafoyle Castle (Easter)
• 1580 - Siege of Smerwick
• 1582 - Allhallowtide

You may find more of what you need by searching the individual battles. Town histories will also have accounts. I know the Lord Mayer of Youghal was hanged when the town was recaptured.

I know good maps are hard to come by for old battles and from this war….well best of luck and warm up your scanner. Ordinance Survey Maps will give you the scale if you can find no other way but you have the buildings of today on the terrain you need. It is removable if you scan it into cad but a slow process beyond the means of most of us on a budget.
