Troop of Covenanter horse serving in Ulster during the Confederate Wars

• September: Raised to replace British horse after the Cessation

• George Monro made Colonel of what had been Sir William Balfour’s Troop of Horse
• Summer: Serve on campaign with Monro

• Quartered at Carrickfergus

• January: Ordered to be disbanded by the English, but refuse
