Passage: In 1602 O'Neill destroyed his capital at Dungannon due to the approach of Mountjoy's forces, and withdrew to hide in the woods. In a symbolic gesture Mountjoy smashed the O'Neills' inauguration stone at Tullaghogue. Famine soon hit Ulster as a result of the English scorched earth strategy. O'Neill's uirithe or sub-lords  began to surrender and Rory O'Donnell, Hugh Roe's brother and successor, surrendered on terms at the end of 1602. However, with a secure base in the large and dense forests of Tir Eoghain, O'Neill held out until 30 March 1603, when he surrendered on good terms to Mountjoy, signing the Treaty of Mellifont. Elizabeth I had died on 24 March. Although the war had effectively ended with the signing of the Treaty of Mellifont, its final battles were fought during the English invasion of West Breifne in April 1603, which remained the sole holdout Irish kingdom following O'Neill's capitulation. The kingdom was ruled by Brian Óg O'Rourke, one of the alliance's chief lieutenants and leader of the Irish forces during the Battle of Curlew Pass. He failed to secure any concessions from the treaty as his half-brother Tadhg O'Rourke had fought with the English during the war and was granted lordship of West Breifne in return. Following a twelve-day siege, a force of 3,000 men led by Tadhg, Henry Folliott and Rory O'Donnell eventually brought the area, and thus all of Ireland, under English control on 25 April 1603.
Due to English battle tactics what did Ulster experience? How many days passed between the death of Elizabeth I and O'Neill's surrender? How many days passed between the death of Elizabeth I and all of Ireland becoming under English control? How many men led the force of 3,000 men? How many people led the force of 3,000 men? How many years 1602, O'Neil destroyed his capital until 1603, signed the Treaty of Mellifont? How many years did the conflict last? What was the purpose of smashing the O'Neills' inauguration stone at Tullaghogue? When did the siege of West Breifne begin? Which event happened first, Elizabeth I died or all of Ireland, under English control? Which happened first, the death of Elizabeth I or the siege of West Breifne? Which happened later, the signing of the Treaty of Mellifont by O'Neill or the death of Elizabeth I? Who died first, Rory O'Donnell or Hugh Roe? Who died six days before the Treaty of Mellifont was signed? Who surrendered later, Rory O'Donnell or O'Neill?
