James is represented well equipped for flight, and symbolized
by a stag with wings to expedite escape. He hurried from the
field of battle to Dublin, assembled the authorities, and vilified
his army, which, though still more numerous than that of his
opponents, he took no pains to rally or reinforce. He thence
hurried away to Waterford, breaking down the bridges behind
him, and, putting himself on board a vessel, ordered a French
squadron, which was despatched to burn William’s transports,
to turn about and protect his flight. Having landed in France,
he again took up his abode at St. Germain.

These medals commemorate William’s entry into Dublin on
bunday, Tg July, when he proceeded immediately to attend
divine service at the Cathedral of St. Patrick, accompanied by
the Bishops of Meath and Limerick, and the civic authorities
These medals were executed in Holland, and gave offence even
to Wilham s partisans by calling the Irish rebels. Though
they did not approve of James’s principles and conduct they
objected to give the name of rebels to those who supported his
cause.
