The Battle of Connor was fought during 1315 in what is now Connor, County Antrim. It was part of the Bruce campaign in Ireland. Edward Bruce and his Irish allies defeated the 2nd Earl of Ulster's forces following the defection of his allies; who resolved to renounce their servitude to the Anglo-Normans. Despite this, and another Scottish/Irish victory at the Battle of Skerries, the campaign was to be defeated at the Battle of Faughart.
