After the Boyne, William III besieged Limerick personally. The Jacobite garrison held firmly under Sarsfield and the formidable Irishwomen who helped repair the breaches. Before the siege, Patrick Sarsfield led a famous night raid (Sarsfield's Ride) to Ballyneety, intercepting and destroying William's siege artillery train. William raised the siege and returned to England. Sarsfield became the great hero of Jacobite Ireland.
