In the aftermath of the Treaty of Limerick in 1691, thousands of Irish soldiers—Jacobites who had fought for King James II—chose exile over submission to Williamite rule. This episode tells the story of the Wild Geese, the Irish regiments who scattered across Europe and fought in the armies of France, Spain, and Austria for over a century. Lucas and Luna explore the departure from Irish shores, the formation of the Irish Brigade in French service, and the legendary bravery at battles like Cremona, Fontenoy, and Ramillies. They examine the personal cost of exile—soldiers who never saw Ireland again, but who kept the dream of a Stuart restoration alive. Along the way, they touch on the careers of figures like Patrick Sarsfield, who died in Flanders, and the Dillon and Clare regiments that became household names in European armies. The episode also considers the legacy: how the Wild Geese shaped Irish identity abroad, and how their military tradition influenced later Irish nationalism. A story of loyalty, loss, and the long reach of Irish history into continental Europe. #WildGeese #TreatyOfLimerick #IrishBrigade #Jacobites #PatrickSarsfield #Fontenoy #Cremona #Ramillies #DillonsRegiment #ClaresRegiment #Exile #IrishDiaspora #StuartRestoration #WarOfTheAustrianSuccession #NineYearsWar #History #FexingoHistory #Europe Fexingo founder and producer: Ibnul Jaif Farabi Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
