Edward the Bruce and his brother Robert …
Years: 1318 - 1318
Edward the Bruce and his brother Robert had campaigned as far south as Limerick in 1317, but the heavy damage they inflicted has caused them to lose support in Ireland.
Failing to establish strongholds, they and their forces had been pushed back to Ulster by Anglo-Irish forces under Roger de Mortimer, English lord lieutenant.
Robert had returned to Scotland; Edward, emerging from Ulster in 1318, fights Mortimer at Faughard near Dundalk and dies here.
