I'm doing an essay on Charles and wanted to know what people thought of him. Also I wanted to know whether people thought he was a traitor or a martyr?
Can we get a reference from a editorial in an Irish newspaper on the Irish massacre, that is an opinion piece?
I seem to remember reading or hearing about some recent archaeological work on the battlefield that showed that Charles's army was forced to retreat to a hill where it was largely butchered. Does anyone have any information on this? Darkmind1970 08:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
I have seen fit to apply this tag to the article. In my opinion, it never was a brilliant piece of work, but over the last few months it has degenerated into nine-tenths imaginative detail, with one footnote to back up all the purple prose. There are a number of good to excellent books on the battle; some of these should be referenced. Without references, most of the descriptive passages appear to be OR.
