The pacification of Ireland has released thousands of troops for William’s war on the continent, but Louis also benefits from twelve thousand Irish troops (the so-called Wild Geese) ceded to him under the terms of the Treaty of Limerick.
William had returned to the Spanish Netherlands in early 1691, but despite the death of Louis’ talented War Minister, Louvois, the campaign in the Spanish Netherlands is a military failure for the Allies.
Marshal Louis-Francois de Boufflers takes Mons on April 10 after a thirty-five-day siege.
