[edit] Séamas an Cac

Is there a source for the assertion that "because of this desertion James became known in Ireland as 'Séamas an Cac' or 'James the Shit'. "? --Theo (Talk) 19:36, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I didn't put this in here, but its a very well known element of Irish folklore. Two sources I can give you straight away are "1690 Battle of the Boyne" (2003) by Padraig Lenihan and "Ireland and the Jacobite cause - A fatal Attachment" by Eamonn O Ciardha (2002). Jdorney

[edit] Sister?

[...] some political figures hatched a conspiracy to invite William of Orange to invade England and to assume the Throne jointly with his wife, James' sister Mary.

Was she not his daughter (as is also previously stated)?

[edit] Largest family casualty in the war?

According to John Lodge, The Peerage of Ireland, ed. Mervyn Archdall (London, 1789), vol. 3, pp. 25-28, eleven of the thirteen sons of Walter Tuite of Tuitestown in Westmeath and his wife, Margaret O'More, daughter of David O'More of Portallen in County Laois were killed in this war. But this seems extraordinarily high for one single immediate family. Was this degree of family loss common in this war or was it unique? Captain Fearnought (talk) 07:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What about henry VIII's church?

How come england had a catholic king when in 1550 ish henry VIII created a protestant church and made kings the heads. Was james the head of the protestant church then? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.164.85 (talk) 18:05, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
