text_original: The city of Limerick had held out to the very last against the forces of King William, and it was especially important for WiUiam to bring the Irish struggle to an end, for the good reason, among many other reasons, that he saw in prospect a great war to be undertaken against what then seemed the ever increasing power of France. WiUiam was himself in the Netherlands at the time when the siege came to an end.
