註釋By the time William III landed in Carrickfergus in 1690 Kane had already joined a British regiment. It was incorporated into William's army and with it Kane marched south (thus becoming one of the first "Orangemen") to participate in the Battle of the Boyne. This and other battles in William's victorious campaign saw the end of Catholic political influence in Ireland at that time, and the imposition of the cruel Penal Laws. The next phase in the struggle against the hegemony of Louis XIV was the War of the Spanish Succession.
