History-Sode | The Siege of Limerick & the Treaty Stone

Why do people call Limerick the City of the Broken Treaty?

In today’s history-sode, we travel back to 1690 and 1691, when the people of Limerick stood strong during two major sieges.

Discover the bravery behind the walls, the treaty that was signed—and broken—and how a single stone became a symbol of both hope and heartbreak.
