AUGHRIM, or AGHRIM

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 901 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AUGHRIM, or AGHRIM , a small
village
  in Co.
Galway
 , Ireland, 4 M. W. by S. of Ballinasloe. It is rendered memorable by the decisive victory gained here on the 12th of July 1691 by the forces of William III. under General Ginkel, over those of James II. under the
French
  general St
Ruth
 , who
fell
  in the fight. The Irish numbering 25,000, and strongly posted behind marshy ground, at first maintained a vigorous resistance; but Ginkel having penetrated their line of
defence
 , and their general being struck down by a cannon ball at this
critical
  moment, they were at length overcome and routed with terrible slaughter. The loss of the
English
  did not exceed 700 killed and moo wounded; while the Irish, in their disastrous flight, lost about 7000 men, besides the whole material of the army. This defeat rendered the adherents of James in Ireland incapable of further efforts, and was speedily followed by the complete submission of the country.
