If you read them both...

I did.... but it is the 12th July 1690 Battle of the Boyne that is known as the "12th" it's a somewhat famous event, not the battle of Aughrim.
I'm sure that John was thinking of the Boyne, with the Northern Irish connection, as those were the tartans he has selected, rather than Aughrim which is in Galway, Ireland

Just to support the accuracy in what Paul is saying go to any news site any look up Ardoyne. It is a section of north Belfast and been the scene of a lot of clashes the last few days, last night in particular. The whole genesis of these occurences is the Battle of the Boyne. (offered without any comment).
