This illustration shows the battle of Wicklow, in 1798. It was known as one of the bloodiest areas of the Irish rebellion of 1798. It suffered greatly in terms of lives lost and property destroyed. Wicklow was many times the key to success or failure for both the Irish and Great Britain in the 1798 Irish Rebellion. Wicklow men fought from the very first hostilities on May 23, 1798 to the end of hostilities around November of the same year. Wicklow and its citizens were the most ardent supporters of the Irish Rebellion as it also held one of the largest loyalist communities in Ireland. This in itself meant that a large amount of the population was at odds with itself. This is proven by the fact that Wicklow sustained the second highest amount of damage to homes and other forms of property in all of Ireland during the Irish rebellion of 1798.
