The Battle of Carrickfergus took place in February 1760 in Carrickfergus, Kingdom of Ireland during the Seven Years' War. A force of 600 French troops landed under the command of the Privateer François Thurot, overwhelmed the small garrison of the town, and captured its castle. Thurot held the town for five days, menacing nearby Belfast and demanding supplies and a ransom. In the face of the mobilisation of large numbers of local militia under General Strode, and the appearance of a Royal Navy squadron off the coast, Thurot re-embarked his force and departed the town.

  • The Battle of Carrickfergus took place in February 1760 in Carrickfergus, Kingdom of Ireland during the Seven Years' War. A force of 600 French troops landed under the command of the Privateer François Thurot, overwhelmed the small garrison of the town, and captured its castle. When word of the capture reached Dublin, a small force of dragoons was despatched by the Lord Lieutenant Duke of Bedford, who feared, incorrectly, that it was a feint to draw British forces to the north while a main French force was to attack Cork or Dublin. Therefore, the bulk of the Royal Irish Army remained where it was rather than marching to the assistance of Ulster. Thurot held the town for five days, menacing nearby Belfast and demanding supplies and a ransom. In the face of the mobilisation of large numbers of local militia under General Strode, and the appearance of a Royal Navy squadron off the coast, Thurot re-embarked his force and departed the town. Thurot was subsequently killed during the Battle of Bishops Court, but his feat in landing on enemy soil was widely hailed in France and he became a national hero, partly because his perceived daring was in sharp contrast to the incompetence shown by French naval officers at the recent Battle of Quiberon Bay.

  • La battaglia di Carrickfergus avvenne nel febbraio 1760 a Carrickfergus, nel Regno d'Irlanda durante la guerra dei sette anni. Una forza di 600 truppe francesi sbarcarono sotto il comando del corsaro François Thurot, sopraffarono la piccola guarnigione della città e catturarono il suo castello. Quando a Dublino si venne a conoscenza della cattura, il lord luogotenente Duca di Bedford, che temeva (erroneamente) che fosse una finta per attirare le forze britanniche a nord mentre la forza principale francese attaccava Cork o Dublino, inviò un piccolo gruppo di dragoni. Pertanto, la buona parte dell'esercito reale irlandese rimase dove era invece di marciare per assistere l'Ulster. Thurot tenne la città per cinque giorni, minacciando la vicina Belfast e richiedendo rifornimenti e un riscatto. Di fronte alla mobilizzazione di un gran numero di milizia locale sotto il generale Strode, e l'apparizione dello squadrone della Royal Navy al largo della costa, Thurot reimbarcò le sue forze e lasciò la città. Thurot fu successivamente ucciso durante la , ma la sua impresa di sbarcare in suolo nemico fu largamente omaggiata in Francia e divenne un eroe nazionale, parzialmente perché la sua audacia fu in netto contrasto con l'incompetenza mostrata dagli ufficiali navali francesi nella recente battaglia della baia di Quiberon.

  • キャリクファーガスの戦い(キャリクファーガスのたたかい、英語: Battle of Carrickfergus)は、七年戦争中の1760年2月、アイルランド王国のでおきた戦闘。私掠船長率いるフランス軍600人がキャリクファーガスの守備軍を圧倒して城を占領した。 キャリクファーガス占領の報せがダブリンにつくと、アイルランド総督のベッドフォード公はイギリス軍を北へ移動させるフェイントであり、フランスの目標はコークやダブリンにあるとして、少数の竜騎兵部隊しか派遣しなかった。 テュローはキャリクファーガスを5日間占領して、ベルファストなど近くの町を脅迫して補給や身代金をせしめたが、ストロード将軍率いる民兵隊が迫っていた上にイギリス海軍が沖に現れたことから撤退した。 テュローは後のビショップスコートの海戦で戦死したが、フランス海軍がキブロン湾の海戦で大敗した中、果敢にも敵地に侵入したことで英雄に祭り上げられた。 (ja)
