The Spanish Armada in Ireland refers to the landfall made upon the coast of Ireland in September 1588 of a large portion of the 130-strong fleet sent by Philip II to invade England. Following its defeat at the naval battle of Gravelines the Armada had attempted to return home through the North Atlantic, when it was driven from its course by violent storms, toward the west coast of Ireland. The prospect of a Spanish landing alarmed the Dublin government of Queen Elizabeth I, which prescribed harsh measures for the Spanish invaders and any Irish who might assist them.

  • Bhuail cuid d'Armáid na Spáinne ar chósta na hÉireann de dheasca longa den chabhlach a theacht salach ar an drochshíon taobh thiar d'Éirinn tar éis go ndearna Pilib II na Spáinne iarracht ar ionradh a dhéanamh ar Shasana sa bhliain 1588 (príomhalt: Armáid na Spáinne agus Longa na hArmáide ar chósta na hÉireann). Cabhlach 130 long a bhí ann agus sheol sé ó Corunna (A Coruña) i Mí na Lúnasa 1588 faoi cheannas Alonso de Guzmán El Bueno, 7ú Diúc Medina Sidonia, chun arm a thabhairt ó Fhlóndras chun Sasana a ionsaí. Chuaigh sé i ngleic leis an namhaid i Muir nIocht, mar ar scaip ionsaí long dóiteáin láimh le Calais é agus ar ruaigeadh isteach sa Mhuir Thuaidh i ndiaidh Chath Gravelines é. Na longa a raibh moill orthu de bharr a raibh de dhíobháil déanta dóibh socraíodh go mbeadh orthu déanamh dóibh féin. Nuair a shroich an cabhlach an Mhuir Thuaidh ní raibh ach 110 long faoi cheannas Medina Sidonia. Bhí dochar déanta do mhórán acu ag urchair agus bhí lón in easnamh orthu. Chaill longa éigin a gcuid ancairí agus iad ag éalú ó na longa dóiteáin. Chomh maith leis sin, rinne ceannasaithe na hArmáide botún seoltóireachta a d’fhág an cabhlach róghar do chóstaí contúirteacha Atlantacha na hAlban agus na hÉireann. (ga)
  • L'expression Armada espagnole en Irlande fait référence à une série d'événements subis sur les côtes irlandaises en septembre 1588 par une partie des navires de l'Invincible Armada, lors de son voyage de retour après l'échec du projet de Philippe II d'invasion de l'Angleterre d'Élisabeth I, au cours de la guerre anglo-espagnole de 1585-1604. 24 navires sur les 130 de l'Armada font naufrage sur la côte rocheuse, longue de 500 km, qui s'étend du comté d'Antrim au comté de Kerry. Beaucoup de survivants sont mis à mort, mais un assez grand nombre réussit à s'échapper. On estime que 5 000 hommes de l'Invincible Armada sont morts en Irlande. (fr)

The prospect of a Spanish landing alarmed the Dublin government of Queen Elizabeth I, which prescribed harsh measures for the Spanish invaders and any Irish who might assist them. Up to 24 ships of the Armada were wrecked on a rocky coastline spanning 500 km, from Antrim in the north to Kerry in the south, and the threat to Crown authority was readily defeated. Many of the survivors of the multiple wrecks were put to death, and the remainder fled across the sea to Scotland. It is estimated that some 6,000 members of the fleet perished in Ireland or off its coasts. (en)
