The Battle of Ballinvegga (or Battle of New Ross) was a battle of the Irish Confederate Wars fought on 18 March 1643. In the battle, James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde defeated Thomas Preston, 1st Viscount Tara, and an Irish Confederate army north of the town of New Ross in the nearby townland of Ballinvegga, County Wexford. Ormonde hoped to link up with the Cork based forces of Inchiquin and so marched from Dublin to besiege the Confederate garrison at New Ross.

  • The Battle of Ballinvegga (or Battle of New Ross) was a battle of the Irish Confederate Wars fought on 18 March 1643. In the battle, James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde defeated Thomas Preston, 1st Viscount Tara, and an Irish Confederate army north of the town of New Ross in the nearby townland of Ballinvegga, County Wexford. Ormonde hoped to link up with the Cork based forces of Inchiquin and so marched from Dublin to besiege the Confederate garrison at New Ross. The fighting at New Ross was fierce, the defenders inflicting substantial casualties on the besiegers. Having had to lift the siege, Ormonde attempted to return to Dublin via the northwest Blackstairs Mountains, where he was intercepted by Preston. Ormonde's force seems to have been vastly outnumbered by Preston's Confederate soldiers (Ormonde claimed they were over 10,000 strong) but Ormonde had several cannon. Following some confused fighting (largely due to the rough terrain) the Confederates withdrew. After the battle, Ormonde observed the devastation inflicted by his artillery: what Godlie men and horses lay there all torn, and their gutts lying on the ground, armes cast away and strewed over the fields. By contrast, as few as ten of Ormonde's soldiers lost their lives in the fighting. Marching north, Ormonde led his weary soldiers to rest near Borris in County Carlow. In the middle of the night two Irish men slipped into the camp and managed to ride off with a cart full of weapons and ammunition. Early the next morning Ormond and Lisle were shocked to find that the army had been largely deprived of its arms as a result of the raid. Another battle at New Ross was fought more than 100 years later, when the United Irishmen tried to take the town. See Battle of New Ross (1798).
  • Die Schlacht von New Ross war ein kleineres Gefecht des Irischen Konföderationskriegs im Jahr 1643 nördlich der Stadt New Ross im Südosten Irlands. Bei der Schlacht besiegte die englische Armee unter James Butler die irischen Konföderationstruppen unter Thomas Preston. James Butler erreichte von Dublin aus New Ross, um die dortige Garnison zu belagern. Da Butler nach einiger Zeit der Belagerung keinen Weg für einen Erfolg seiner Bemühungen sah, beendete er die Belagerung und wollte über die Blackstairs Mountains nach Dublin zurückkehren. Auf dem Weg dorthin traf er auf die Truppen von Thomas Preston. Nach kurzen Kampfhandlungen, bei der ca. 500 irische Soldaten ihr Leben ließen, konnte Butler seinen Weg zurück nach Dublin fortsetzen.
  • Bitwa pod New Ross 1643 r. miała miejsce w trakcie irlandzkiej wojny konfederackiej na północ od miasta New Ross w południowo-wschodniej Irlandii. W trakcie starcia angielska armia pod wodzą Jamesa Butlera pokonała irlandzkie oddziały konfederackie dowodzone przez Thomasa Prestona. W roku 1643 James Butler wyruszył z Dublina na czele swoich wojsk kierując się do New Ross z zamiarem zdobycia tamtejszego garnizonu. Po nieskutecznym oblężeniu Butler zdecydował się jednak na powrót do Dublina przez Blackstairs Mountain. W trakcie marszu w tym kierunku Irlandczycy natknęli się na wojska angielskie Jamesa Butlera. Po krótkiej walce, w której poległo około 500 żołnierzy irlandzkich, Butler z pozostałymi siłami wycofał się do Dublina. Literatura Padraig Lenihan, Confederate Catholics at War, Cork 2001.
