Information About

Yeomanry




While this was certainly true in most cases it was also the fact that the new regiments were sometimes used to in support of the Civil Authority to fight rebellion as in the Irish Rebellion or suppress civil unrest — as in the Peterloo Massacre ; so their equipping and maintenance by local landowners was by no means entirely altruistic in post-revolutionary, but pre-police, England and Ireland.
