The Battle of Kilmacrennan was a skirmish fought near Kilmacrennan, County Donegal in 1608 during O'Doherty's Rebellion. Sir Cahir O'Doherty was a traditional supporter of the Crown whose treatment at the hands of local officials had led him to launch a rebellion in which he had seized the garrison town of Derry, killing his enemy George Paulet. O'Doherty raised local forces and possibly hoped to negotiate an agreement with the government as had been common with leaders of previous rebellions.

  • The Battle of Kilmacrennan was a skirmish fought near Kilmacrennan, County Donegal in 1608 during O'Doherty's Rebellion. Sir Cahir O'Doherty was a traditional supporter of the Crown whose treatment at the hands of local officials had led him to launch a rebellion in which he had seized the garrison town of Derry, killing his enemy George Paulet. O'Doherty raised local forces and possibly hoped to negotiate an agreement with the government as had been common with leaders of previous rebellions. However, the Viceroy in Dublin, Arthur Chichester, responded quickly and despatched reinforcements to the area under Richard Wingfield. They were a mixture of professional soldiers of the Royal Irish Army and Gaelic warriors allied to the government. They met the rebels at Kilmacrennan and O'Doherty was killed by a musket shot to the head. His troops' morale collapsed and they fled the field. A £500 bounty had been placed on O'Doherty and, while a number of outlandish legends exist about the fate of his severed head, a reward was given to an infantry soldier John Trendor by the Dublin government. With O'Doherty's death, the rebellion quickly collapsed, the final forces retreating to Tory Island, where they were successfully besieged. (en)

Eran una mezcla de soldados profesionales del Ejército Real Irlandés y guerreros celtas aliados al gobierno. Se encontraron con los rebeldes en Kilmacrennan y O'Doherty fue asesinado por un disparo de mosquete en la cabeza. La moral de sus tropas se derrumbó y huyeron del campo. Una recompensa de £ 500 se le había puesto a la cabeza de O'Doherty y, aunque existen varias leyendas extravagantes sobre el destino de su cabeza cortada, el gobierno de Dublín otorgó la recompensa al soldado de infantería John Trendor.​ Con la muerte de O'Doherty, la rebelión rápidamente colapsó, y las fuerzas finales se retiraron a la isla Tory, donde fueron sitiadas con éxito.
