The victory of Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, over the English at the Battle of the Yellow Ford sparked a fire that consumed the English plantation in Munster and significantly weakened the English position in Ireland. Queen Elizabeth's favourite, the Earl of Essex, was sent to restore control, but his blundering left Crown authority on the island near to collapse. However, the arrival of Charle Blount, Lord Mountjoy, at the start of 1600, transformed English fortunes. After seven years of near-continuous setbacks, Mountjoy turned the tide against Tyrone's confederation.
Unlike his predecessors, Mountjoy did not underestimate his enemies, developing an island-wide strategy to break up Tyrone's network of alliances. Moreover, he restored order and confidence in the Crown's army by replicating many of the military reforms of the Irish. Supported by able men such as Sir George Carew, Mountjoy pushed back on Irish gains and brought the war to Tyrone's Ulster heartlands. Mountjoy's strategy was costly in English lives, but his success was undeniable as his unrelenting campaigns gained ground from Tyrone. The fate of all sides converged when a Spanish landing of 4,000 troops at Kinsale led to a ferocious winter siege and the pivotal Battle of Kinsale. Mountjoy triumphed on Christmas Eve 1601, breaking Tyrone's military power forever, but the war was not done. Its bloodiest phase was still ahead, as English armies brought scorched earth and massacres to the Irish as never before. Only after Ulster was wasted and Ireland wracked by famine did Tyrone finally submit in 1603, ending the war and completing the Tudor conquest.
