The Wild Geese [EU] [Inactive for now]

Brief History

In 1609, Arthur Chichester, then Lord Deputy of Ireland, deported 1,300 former rebel Irish soldiers from Ulster to serve in the Protestant Swedish Army. However, under the influence of Catholic clergy, many of them deserted to Polish service.

The Catholic Irish troops in Protestant Swedish service changed sides during a battle against largely Catholic Poland, the only European country with statutory freedom of religion at the time. The Irish then served in Polish service for several years during the Polish–Muscovite War (1605–161, until their wages went unpaid.

Glad to see at least one western guy who knows about the most laudable tradition of our "xenophobic and intolerant" nation 

Good luck!
