Thread Name: Help: History of 'Shane Crossagh'
Subject: RE: Help: History of 'Shane Crossagh'
Shane Crossagh O'Mullan was a 'Raparree' - an Irish irregular soldier who lead pockets of resistance after the Jacobite army left Ireland in 1690. A lot of these people weren't that politically motivated, it was just a mask for racketeering and highway robbery. Some were known to occasionally share their spoils with the poor though.
