Riassunto:

The occupation of the Irish port of Kinsale by a Spanish force in 1601 and its surrender to an English army early in 1602 is an event of both European and Irish significance. This work, based mainly on research in the Archivo General de Simancas, has since its first publication in 1970 remained the standard treatment of the invasion and its outcome. That invasion marked the last attempt by Spain to force a decision in the long sea war with England which had lasted since 1585.
