Perfect weekend reading - a new Confabulations post, "Don and Sancho", from Charlie Kerrigan.

[Irish History Bitesize! @lorraineelizab6]

#Otd 1649: Cromwell sailed for Dublin with 35 ships. Ireton landed 2 days later with 77! By end war <41% Irish population died (some say 83%!). Also transported c 50,000 as indentured labourers & war resulted in famine, worsened by bubonic plague! Brutal! https://t.co/VkkKH3721v
