The Battle of the Boyne, fought on July 1, 1690 (Julian calendar) or July 12 (Gregorian calendar), involved two main factions: the forces of the Catholic King James II of England and the Protestant King William of Orange, who was also William III of England. The battle was part of the Williamite War in Ireland and marked a significant conflict between Catholic and Protestant forces in the British Isles. William's victory solidified Protestant ascendancy in Ireland and played a crucial role in shaping the future of British politics and religious dynamics.
