Château de Commarque The Château de Commarque is a castle located between Sarlat and Les Eyzies , in the " commune " of Les Eyzies - de - Tayac - Sireuil in the Dordogne " département " , southern France . It stands on a rocky outcrop in the valley of the river Beune . History . The castle was founded during the 12th century , or possibly slightly prior to it , upon the request of the abbot s of Sarlat . At this time the Château de Commarque was only a wooden tower , and its primary concerns were to discourage the ambitions of the Beynac family and to insure the safety of the valley . It was placed at the crossing of two important commercial roads : the road from Périgueux to Cahors and the road from Brive - la - Gaillarde to Bergerac . After the Beynac family took the control of the castle , the wooden tower was replaced by a stone keep . The fortification was enhanced , and the keep was gradually heightened until 18th century . The Beynacs , lords of the area , dwelt in the keep . During the Hundred Years ' War , it was captured by the English who held the place for several years . Later during the French Wars of Religion , the castle was taken by the Catholics , due to the Beynacs being Protestant partisans . The castle has been undergoing restoration since 1994 . It has been listed since 1943 as a " monument historique " by the French Ministry of Culture . There is a prehistoric cave under the castle .

Battle of Ovidstown The battle of Ovidstown , was a clash between British military and Irish rebels during the Irish Rebellion of 1798 . It took place at 19 June 1798 at Ovidstown Hill , about three miles south - west of Kilcock in County Kildare . Background . Despite the initial military failure of the United Irish rebellion in Kildare , the consolidation of Government forces in Naas and the priority given to the effort to crush the raging rebellion in County Wexford , meant that much of the county remained in rebel hands since the outbreak of the rebellion . Towns such as Prosperous and Clane were in rebel hands , while towns such as Maynooth , Kilcock and Kildare town had been attacked and briefly occupied by the rebels . By 19 June however , neighbouring County Meath had been judged sufficiently pacified to allow for troops to be sent from there into Kildare to retake the rebel - held territory . A force of 400 troops , with two pieces of artillery , was sent out from Trim on 18 June to locate and destroy the rebel army led by William Aylmer . When Alymer received news of the offensive , he decided to rally his forces and engage the approaching military head - on , choosing to fight at Ovidstown Hill , about three miles south - west of Kilcock . Battle . Almost 4 , 000 rebels had gathered by the time approaching British troops were spotted , and they began to deploy behind ditches on both sides of the road in an attempt to ambush the approaching military . The manoeuvre failed when light infantry deployed along both rebel flanks , and drove them back with their superior firepower . Despite this success , the British were unable to organise their cavalry in time to pursue the retreating rebels across the broken terrain and were also experiencing difficulties in deploying their artillery . Trying to take advantage of the respite , Alymer ordered his men to charge the encumbered soldiers before they could complete their deployments but the charge petered out as the rebels hesitated and merely occupied a facing position covered by hedges . This gave the British artillery enough time to fire rounds of grapeshot into the massed rebels who were now forced to come out from their positions and were subsequently exposed to volleys of musket fire from the infantry . Forced back onto the offensive , the rebels charged again , reaching the British lines and almost seizing the artillery , but they had left their left flank unprotected which gave the cavalry the opportunity to launch a counter - attack which broke and routed the rebel attack . Aftermath . The rebels lost about 200 men while the military lost 25 , Alymer was forced to relocate his remaining forces to the protection of the Bog of Allen where they later linked up with survivors of the Wexford rebellion under Anthony Perry . The British followed up their victory , pursuing and killing the fleeing rebels , and retaking and sacking the town of Prosperous , held by rebels since the Battle of Prosperous .

He arrived on 5 July , and on 7 July the Turkish fleet appeared from the east , sailing to the south of Santorini , but it turned north when it spotted some Venetian stragglers , and Mocenigo tried to support them . Nineteen sailing ships under Battaglia formed a line abreast , but darkness prevented any action from happening that day . The battle . On 8 July , the Venetians were somewhat scattered , with five sailing ships , under Battaglia , close to the Turks . He was unsupported against them until Barbarigo with six sailing ships engaged the Turkish rowing vessels . The Turks retired north , towing some of their sailing ships , toward the channel between Naxos and Paros . On 9 July , the Venetians were more scattered , with only one sailing ship supporting their galleys , and Mocenigo had to join them with the rest . The Turks were to the north , steering between Paros and Naxos . On 10 July , two galleasses , under Tomaso and Lazaro Mocenigo , broke formation and attacked some Turkish galleys which were still watering at Paros . They ended up fighting the Kapudan Pasha himself , with six galleasses and some galleys , and Tomaso was killed . Francesco Morosini arrived with the Venetian galleys , and later the Venetian Right and Center joined and the Turkish galleys fled , leaving their sailing ships unsupported . These fled north or east of Naxos , but they were overhauled by the Venetian rowing vessels , which captured , forced them ashore or burnt them . The Turks lost ten or eleven sailing ships and one galleass captured , and five ( sailing ships ? ) burnt , as well as 965 prisoners .
