Ulster Chieftains Resist English Reconquest

In April 1600, a Spanish ship delivered munitions to the confederacy, and O'Neill sent his son Henry to Spain to secure further support.

These actions stimulated the Irish-Spanish alliance. However, significant military reinforcements from Spain did not arrive until late 1601, leaving the confederacy vulnerable in the interim.
