Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Battle of Aughrim (Irish: Cath Eachroma) was the decisive battle of the Williamite War in Ireland. It was fought between the largely Irish Jacobite army loyal to James II and the forces of William III on 12 July 1691 (old style, equivalent to 22 July new style), near the village of Aughrim, County Galway.

Summary from An Ghaeilge / Irish Wikipedia (gawiki)

Tharla Cath Eachroma le linn Chogadh an Dá Rí (nó Cogadh Rí Liam) ar an 12 Iúil 1691. Maraíodh suas le seacht míle duine ann in aon tráthnóna amháin. Ina measc siúd bhí tuairim is 2,000 de lucht tacaíocht Ri Liam, mar aon leis na mílte de lucht tacaíochta Rí Shéamais. Ba chath cinniúnach é, mar is de bharr an chatha seo a rinneadh Conradh Luimnigh agus a tharla a lán eile ina dhiaidh---na Péindlíthe agus riar na hÉireann idir 1691 agus 1922.
