An Entity of Type: GroupAction101080366, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Essex in Ireland refers to the military campaign pursued in Ireland in 1599 by Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, during the Nine Years War. In 1598, Queen Elizabeth I of England had been troubled over the choice of a military commander for Ireland, at a time when two factions dominated her court - one led by Essex, the other by her principal secretary, Sir Robert Cecil. In the following year Essex found himself with no choice but to offer his services, which the Queen accepted. The ensuing campaign failed, and Essex returned in disgrace to England, where he made a treasonable challenge to Crown authority. He was convicted and put to death in 1601.

  • La Campaña de Essex en Irlanda fue dirigida por Robert Devereux, II conde de Essex en 1599, y tuvo lugar durante la Guerra de los Nueve Años de Irlanda y la Guerra Anglo-Española de 1585-1604. A principios de 1599, la Reina Isabel I se encontraba ante la difícil decisión de nombrar un comandante militar para Irlanda. En ese momento, la corte se hallaba dividida en dos facciones: una de ellas liderada por el conde de Essex, y la otra por el secretario principal de la reina, Sir Robert Cecil. Tras largas discusiones, a Essex no le quedó otra opción que la de asumir el mando de la campaña. Tras el fracaso de las operaciones militares, Essex volvió a Irlanda en desgracia y desafió abiertamente a la corona en un acto de traición, por el que fue ejecutado en 1601. (es)
