Excerpt from The Battle of the Boyne: Together With an Account Based on French and Other Unpublished Records of the War in Ireland 1688 1691, and of the Formation of the Irish Brigade in the Service of France The Louvois Of 1688 was not quite the same person as he had been in 1685, when James's conversion had seemed to herald the return of England to the Catholic fold. The success Of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes and the dragonnades had not been so absolute in France as to make him think that James Stuart would succeed in a task somewhat similar to but more difficult than his own, when Protestant England was the scene in lieu of Catholic France. When George Skelton asked for French troops Louvois knew that James II had already failed. The letters from his agents in England made him think, rightly or wrongly, that for the completeness of his failure James was himself much to blame, and thus his distrust and dislike of the Stuart King dated from a time anterior to their meeting in France.
