At various times, Confederate armies fought [[Cavalier|Royalists]], [[Roundhead|Parliamentarians]], [[Laggan Army|Ulster Protestant militia]] and Scots [[Covenanter]]s; these controlled [[the Pale]], parts of eastern and northern [[Ulster]], and the region around [[Cork (city)|Cork]]. Charles authorised secret negotiations which in September 1643 resulted in a Confederate–Royalist ceasefire and led to further talks, most of which proved unsuccessful. In 1644, a [[Irish expedition to Scotland|Confederate military expedition]] landed in Scotland to help Royalists there.

In 1647, the Confederates suffered a string of defeats at [[Battle of Dungan's Hill|Dungan's Hill]], [[Sack of Cashel|Cashel]] and [[Battle of Knocknanuss|
