Treaty of Limerick
Williamite War's end
The Treaty of Limerick ended the Williamite War in Ireland in 1691, allowing defeated Jacobite forces to leave for France and promising religious toleration for Catholics.
The treaty's terms were largely broken by the Protestant-dominated Irish Parliament, which imposed severe penal laws instead.
The broken Treaty of Limerick became a symbol of English perfidy in Irish nationalist memory.
