@TallTrees 

As you know who Bob Dylan is; know where Beachy Head is; and know who The Boomtown Rats are; this might mean you might know the answers to those - and maybe the other ? - questions...

Look forward to pm with your answers, later.

Have to say @jonsie I thought the same. I put it down to brain fade which considering the day I had today, didn't surprise me at all. 😂

This is one of my "knowns" @jonsie 

1690 is celebrated in Ireland (actually) Battle of the Boyne

As far as my distant memory of 1690 battles recalls the English were defeated at Beachy Head or thereabouts 🙄 ignominiously losing many ships as well as allied ships and the Commander (or whatever he was called then ~ title titles again) was sacked or as genteel persons would put it

"relieved of his command" old boy 😲  

You know what history is like ~ who wrote it is very important ~ perhaps the English forgot they lost the battle 😂

It was a long war.  

You are right @jonsie  

in my humble opinion....! Fortunately we do not need to "come to blows" over the issue as the

question is who was the Partner in War.

Edited to add ~

Fortunately I know little of Medieval Wars

So there will be "little" conflict here with @Mi-Amigo  's   Scholarly books ~ 

because I do not know the Answer! 😆
