O'Neill meanwhile goes ahead and starts the rebellion in the north of the country, capturing the important fort of Charlemont, one of only a handful of modern fortresses to be found in Ireland at that time, claiming to be acting in the King's name.
He quickly finds, however, that he cannot control the Irish Catholic peasantry he has raised.
These people, many of whom had been displaced during the Plantation of Ulster, begin attacking the Scottish and English Protestant settlers.
