Jean Humbert surrendered his French line after an hour, but Bartholomew Teeling’s Irish allies kept fighting until dragoons drove them into a bog where they drowned or bled out. Two hundred captured Irish men were later hanged, including Matthew Tone, while five hundred bodies lay scattered across the Longford border field.
