The Troubles of the Drogheda Massacre, which occurred in 1649, stemmed from the conflict between Royalist forces loyal to King Charles I and the Parliamentarian New Model Army led by Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War. Cromwell's forces besieged the town of Drogheda in Ireland, resulting in a brutal assault after its capture, where many civilians and defenders were killed. This event is often cited as a significant and brutal episode in the history of Anglo-Irish relations, reflecting the broader religious and political tensions of the time. The massacre has left a lasting legacy of resentment and is remembered as a symbol of the violence inflicted during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland.
