But the Jacobite armies were defeated, ending James's hopes and starting a period of Protestant domination in Ireland.&amp;nbsp;  Historian P\u00e1draig Lenihan of the University of Galway has uncovered a fascinating account of the Williamite Wars in Ireland - the Poema de Hibernia, an epic poem written in Latin by an anonymous Jacobite who was imprisoned after the defeat.&amp;nbsp;P\u00e1draig joins Paul and Miranda to discuss the 17th-century conflict in Ireland, and to describe how he rescued this crucial primary source from archival obscurity.  The Poema de Hibernia: a Jacobite Latin Epic on the Williamite Wars, edited by  P\u00e1draig Lenihan and Keith Sidwell, is published by the Irish Manuscripts Commission.&amp;nbsp; '1666 and All That' is presented by Paul Lay and Miranda Malins. The producer is Hugh Costello. Original music by George Taylor.
