Note 392 — Chapter LI
Reading edition
A short relation of the siege of Kinsale in Carew (No. 202) signed by Mountjoy, Carew, and others. O’Sullivan and others say the English outnumbered Tyrone’s forces. It is true that the Irish made no general or united effort, but only a small section of Mountjoy’s army was actually engaged. Moryson, who was present, says the former were 6,000 foot and 500 horse, the latter barely 1,200 and 400.
