  • Le siège de Derry (anglais : Siege of Derry) est le premier événement important des guerres williamites en Irlande. Les portes de la ville furent fermées le 7 décembre 1688, mais le siège lui-même ne débuta qu'en avril 1689. Le siège dure trois mois et demi, prenant fin le 30 juillet 1689, quand des navires de la marine anglaise, remontant l'estuaire de la rivière Foyle, forcent le barrage flottant établi par l'armée jacobite, apportant des vivres et des munitions. Ce siège, qui a coûté la vie à 8 000 habitants de Derry, est commémoré chaque année par la fraternité protestante des Apprentice Boys of Derry. Il demeure un élément constitutif de la culture protestante unioniste d'Irlande du Nord, aux côtés de la bataille de la Boyne (1690) et de la bataille de la Somme (1916). (fr)

  • The siege of Derry in 1689 was the first major event in the Williamite War in Ireland. The siege was preceded by a first attempt against the town by Jacobite forces on 7 December 1688 that was foiled when 13 apprentices shut the gates. This was an act of rebellion against James II. The second attempt began on 18 April 1689 when James himself appeared before the walls with an Irish army led by Jacobite and French officers. The town was summoned to surrender but refused. The siege began. The besiegers tried to storm the walls, but all attacks failed. They then resorted to starving Derry out. They raised the siege and left when ships bringing food broke through to the town. The siege lasted 105 days from 18 April to 1 August 1689. It is commemorated yearly by the Protestant community.

  • L'assedio di Derry (in inglese: Siege of Derry) è il primo evento significativo delle Guerre guglielmite in Irlanda. Le porte della città furono chiuse il 7 dicembre 1688, ma l'assedio stesso non iniziò fino all'aprile 1689. L'assedio durò tre mesi e mezzo e terminò il 1º agosto 1689, quando le navi della marina inglese salparono l'estuario del fiume Foyle, forzando la diga galleggiante istituita dall'esercito giacobita, portando cibo e munizioni. L'assedio, che ha causato la morte di 8.000 residenti di Derry, viene commemorato ogni anno dalla confraternita protestante degli Apprentice Boys of Derry. Rimane una parte costitutiva della cultura unionista protestante dell'Irlanda del Nord, insieme alla battaglia del Boyne (1690) e alla battaglia della Somme (1916). (it)
  • Осада Дерри (англ. The Siege of Derry, ирл. Léigear Dhoire) — сражение вильямитской войны, длившееся с 18 апреля по 28 июля 1689 года. В течение этого времени армия якобитов осаждала Дерри, оплот вильямитов. Осаду удалось снять только за счёт вмешательства британского флота. Ежегодно в августе проводится парад учеников ремесленников Дерри, приуроченный к концу осады города. (ru)
