[Michael]

11th October, 1649 - beginning of the Cromwellian massacres in Ireland:

“All is not well with Ireland yet. You gave us the money, you gave us the guns. But let me tell you that every house in Ireland is a house of prayer, and when I bring these fanatical Irish before the muzzles of my guns, they hold up in their hands a string of beads, and they never surrender.”
- Oliver Cromwell
