  1. During the Great Rebellion in Ireland (1641–49), killing of Protestant planters (settlers) by Irish rebels at Portadown Bridge, County Armagh, in November 1641. The rebels attacked a group of English and Scottish planters who had been settled by the English government on confiscated Catholic Irish lands during the Plantation of Ireland. The planters were tortured, robbed, and then taken to Portadown Bridge where they were forced into the icy River Bann to drown. The event was regarded by Protestants as justification for the further removal of Catholic lands and rights.
