The Bed Of Heaven to Fr Murphy and all those who fought and died in the 1798 rebellion

Well done colum o Ruairc and David holden

[@davyholden]

Thank you Thomas

[@gloriagarza6823]

Peace. My condolenes for the losses, for so many centuries, of your fellow countrymen in defense of Celtic freedom and liberty. For hardships forced upon Irish families as they were oppressed and suppressed by those Un-Law-Fully demanding tribute. May each be richly rewarded for their deeds according to His Law, His Will. Peace.

Love colums work man is a living Hero Would love to see him do a recount of the steps of the pikemens last stand at ballyboughal County Dublin. Shout out to yourself to Davy great work keep it up .

[@boudiccam4417]

The 1798 rebellion is the subject of a folk song, Dunlavin Green. It’s a beautiful song and lamentation.

[@AquaticsMain]

As a young man of 20 I spent a while in Australia. One day out for a ramble I came across Waverly cemetery and stumbled upon Dwyers grave. It blew me away. Its a site to behold. And contains the "memory of the dead." "Who fears to speak of 'Ninety-eight'? Who blushes at the name? When cowards mock the patriot's fate Who hangs his head for shame?

[@deirdre8744]

Thank you for bringing history alive.

Thank you!

Unbelievable knowledge and such detail that you could listen to him for hours.A pivotal time in Irelands history Davy. Go raibh maith agat 💚🇮🇪☘✊

[@brendanmaguire4134]

Davy.. love you're channel and content. But would you be interested in and hopefully meeting or maybe interviewing some of the latest and hopefully the last generations of Irish volunteers north and south and getting some of their stories on active service or some jail stories. 🙏✌🇮🇪

[@davyholden]

Thank you Brendan! If you have access, I'd love that. Can you drop me an email or a message on Instagram? Would love to chat about it.

[@Ellerby111]

Amazing video and such knowledge. I remember visiting Wicklow and this region in 1998 from Australia and seeing various monuments for the 1798 Uprising. The memory of the memorials and the history have stayed with me all my life.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

I am glad I caught the premiere, it is a rebellion I know little about.

[@davyholden]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@johnnotrealname8168]

@@davyholden I heartily did.

[@richardpcrowe]

My 4th great grandparents. Teddy and Mary Hart emigrated to America sometime shortly after the 1798 Rebellion. The first indication I have of these ancestors is when their son, Timothy Hart (who later, by the way. became one of the signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence at Goliad) was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1810. I don't know when Teddy and Mary left Ireland and wonder if it was connected with the 1798 Rebellion.

[@thomaskenny4453]

Where were the harts from

[@sparkmanuk]

Hart isn’t an Irish surname

[@sharonm1990]

​@@sparkmanukThe surname Hart was first found in County Meath, they were of the southern Uí Néill. The surname Hart is an anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hAirt 'descendant of Art', a byname meaning 'bear', 'hero'.

My ancestors Samuel Warren fought & was captured at Vinegar Hill. He was badly beaten & eventually died as a result. We believe his son of the same name emigrated to Canada. My 2x great grandmother was one of his descendants.

Great video Davy, very appealing to what happened. Keep up the good work!

[@JSL2000]

Ultimately, the Brits handed our arses back to us. Every rebellion ended the exact same way.

[@thevocalcrone]

There is a McDonagh written about in a newspaper in Western Australia in 1900, its only brief but it refers to a McDonagh as being 130 years old (the locals believed) he was illiterate and didn't know his age but before he started to ail, he used to talk with the locals of his memories of watching Napoleons soldiers coming over the hill while he was pushing his plough. He used to say he would have been about 20 when that occurred. So I thought it sounded like BS, so I started searching convicts and entries and beleive that I found him, he shows up as entering Australia i think in about 1805 (maybe earlier - i'm digging in my memory banks here) but then he 'disappears' and the next time he shows up is in a remote area of WA, and what I find gorgeous is the comment by the locals "we think he might be older but we aren't sure', and .. "although he has become more feeble he still managed to get his potato crop in this year'.

[@elizabethrusson7495]

The shame of it all was the Irish were being played by the French, the same way the Scots were. If the rebellion had been successful, Napoleon would have moved in to annex another country for his empire.
