What is recorded here
Wexford bled during the second siege of 1169, its streets choked with smoke and fury while men from both sides broke every promise of mercy. The town became a knife edge where hunger, rage and steel met without witness. Whatever mercy existed vanished before the final charge, leaving behind a wound that could never be cleaned or closed.
Siege of Wexford is a siege in County Wexford, Ireland.
