gallowglasses of the Mac Cárthaigh Riabhaigh are recorded as having attacked Mallow in County Cork as late as 1645. Images of gallowglasses fighting as mercenaries in European mainland armies were sketched by Dürer in 1521 and later by French and Dutch artists. Gallowglasses served in the Dutch Blue Guards, Swiss Guard, the French Scottish Guard, and the forces of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden in his invasion of Livonia during the Thirty Years' War. Millford in County Donegal, historically called Ballynagalloglagh (from Irish: Baile na nGallóglach), is a small town and townland whose Irish name means "town of the gallowglasses". A battle between the Irish (helped by gallóglaigh) and the English took place on a hill in the townland and this is where the name comes from.
