During the 18th century, thousands of Irish soldiers enlisted to serve in the French army. Despite their pivotal roles in battles such as Cremona (1702) and Fontenoy (1745), the history of these soldiers has largely eluded the public. This book offers a valuable opportunity to explore the intricate process of integrating a foreign community into Ancien Régime France. Drawing upon previously unpublished archives and rare sources, this study offers a captivating exploration of a complex phenomenon at the crossroads of war and national identity. It sheds light on how these men, caught between mercenary work and loyalty to the Jacobite cause, fought under the flags of the Bourbons and managed to rewrite their own history. It also delves into Ireland's relationship with France and Britain from the late seventeenth century to the dawn of the twentieth century.
