- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)During the Jacobite Wars Athlone figured very prominently having sustained two Sieges.
The Jacobites having been defeated at the Boyne, 1st July 1690, decided to retreat into Connacht and hold the line of the Shannon. King William despatched Lieut General Douglas with 12,000 men, 12 Field Pieces and two Mortars against Athlone, where a strong body of Jacobite troops had congregated. Douglas appeared before the town on the 17th July 1690. This Commander of Athlone was Colonel Richard Grace, a fine old soldier who broke down the bridge and refused to discuss terms. Douglas having bombarded the town for a week raised the Siege and marched to join the Williamites before Limerick.
