The Amity Papers, 1690: The Siege of Limerick and Franco-Irish Mercantile Networks

The Amity Papers, 1690 reproduces 74 documents captured from the Irish vessel Amity in 1690, and rediscovered in 2016 at the British National Archives. Merchant letters highlight civilian hardships, and commercial difficulties during the 1690 siege of Limerick, and illuminate Catholic-Irish and Quaker commercial networks trading with France.
