The governor, M'Carty, was wounded.

The Earls of Tyrone and Clancarty, with difficulty, made their escape from the mob.

Many were killed, and a great destruction of property took place, before Marlborough and Wirtemberg entered the town and put a stop to the disorder, which inflicted great discredit upon them, as they had made no arrangements, whatever, to ensure the safety of the inhabitants, which they had solemnly guaranteed.
It was now October, and Marlborough at once set about the investment of Kinsale.

On the very evening of the day he entered Cork, he sent off five hundred horse towards that town, and the next day marched thither himself at the head of his infantry.

The works of Kinsale consisted of two forts, both of considerable strength, called the Old Fort and Charles's Fort.
They were well supplied with stores and provisions for a siege.
