The Battle of Piltown took place near Piltown, County Kilkenny in 1462 as part of the Wars of the Roses. It was fought between the supporters of the two leading Irish magnates Thomas FitzGerald, 7th Earl of Desmond, head of the government in Dublin and a committed Yorkist, and John Butler, 6th Earl of Ormond who backed the Lancastrian cause. It ended in decisive victory for Desmond and his Yorkists, with Ormond's army suffering more than a thousand casualties. This effectively ended Lancastrian hopes in Ireland and bolstered FitzGerald control for a further half-century. The Ormonds departed into exile, although they were later pardoned by Edward IV.

  • La bataille de Piltown est un affrontement de la guerre des Deux-Roses. Elle se déroule à l'été 1462 près de Piltown, dans le comté de Kilkenny, et se solde par une victoire de l'armée yorkiste, conduite par Thomas FitzGerald, 7e comte de Desmond et commandant en chef du gouvernement anglais de Dublin, sur les troupes lancastriennes de John Butler, 6e comte d'Ormond, qui perd plus d'un milier d'hommes et est contraint à l'exil. Le folklore local prétend que la bataille a été si violente qu'une rivière rouge sang a parcouru la vallée, d'où les noms de Pill River ou de Piltown (Baile an Phuill en irlandais, « ville du sang »).

This effectively ended Lancastrian hopes in Ireland and bolstered FitzGerald control for a further half-century. The Ormonds departed into exile, although they were later pardoned by Edward IV. It was the only major battle to be fought in the Lordship of Ireland during the Wars of the Roses. It is also part of the long-running feud between the FitzGerald dynasty and the Butler dynasty. (en)

Bien qu'étant le seul affrontement de la guerre des Deux-Roses à avoir lieu en Irlande, ce combat met officiellement fin à la présence lancastrienne en Irlande et renforce la mainmise des FitzGerald sur l'île jusqu'au milieu du XVIe siècle. Il s'inscrit dans la rivalité entre les FitzGerald et les Butler, même si ces derniers obtiennent ultérieurement un pardon du roi yorkiste Édouard IV. (fr)
