Treaty of Limerick
The Treaty of Limerick was signed on 3 October 1691, ending the siege of Limerick and the Williamite War in Ireland. Its military articles allowed the Jacobite soldiers to sail to France, the 'Flight of the Wild Geese', while its civil articles promised Catholics the religious freedom they had enjoyed under Charles II. The failure to honour these terms, and the Penal Laws that followed, made it a lasting grievance.
