See also:LUNDY, See also:ROBERT (fl. 1688) , See also:governor of See also:Londonderry. Nothing is known of Lundy's parentage or See also:early See also:life; but he had seen service in the See also:foreign See also:wars before 1688, when he was at See also:Dublin with the See also:rank of See also:lieutenant-See also:colonel in the See also:regiment of See also:Lord See also:Mountjoy. When the apprentices of Derry closed the See also:gates in the See also:face of the See also:earl of See also:Antrim, who was approaching the See also:city at the See also:head of an Irish See also:Catholic force in the interests of See also:- JAMES

James II., the See also:viceroy Tyrconnel despatched Mountjoy to pacify the Protestants. Mountjoy and his regiment were well received in the See also:north, and the citizens of Derry permitted him to leave within their walls a small See also:Protestant See also:garrison under the command of Lundy, who assumed the See also:title of governor. Popular feeling in Derry ran so strongly in favour of the See also:prince of See also:Orange that Lundy quickly declared himself an adherent of See also:- WILLIAM

William; and he obtained from him a See also:commission confirming his See also:appointment as governor. Whether Lundy was a deliberate traitor to the cause he had embraced with explicit asseveration of fidelity in a signed document, or whether, as See also:Macaulay suggests, he was only a cowardly See also:poltroon, cannot certainly be known. What is certain is that from the moment Londonderry was menaced by the troops of See also:- KING

King James, Lundy used all his endeavours to paralyse the See also:defence of the city. In See also:April 1689 he was in command of a force of Protestants who encountered some troops under See also:Richard See also:- HAMILTON

Hamilton at See also:Strabane, when, instead of holding his ground, he told his men that all was lost and ordered them to shift for themselves; he himself was the first to take See also:flight back to Derry. King James, then at See also:Omagh on his way to the north, similarly turned in flight towards Dublin on See also:hearing of the skirmish, but returned next See also:day on receiving the true See also:account of the occurrence. On the 14th of April See also:English See also:ships appeared in the Foyle with reinforcements for Lundy under Colonel See also:Cunningham. Lundy dissuaded Cunningham from landing his regiments, representing that a defence of Londonderry was hopeless; and that he himself intended to withdraw secretly from the city. At the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time he sent to the enemy's headquarters a promise to surrender the city at the first See also:summons. As soon as this became known to the citizens Lundy's life was in danger, and he was vehemently accused of treachery. When the enemy appeared before the walls Lundy gave orders that there should be no firing. But all authority had passed out of his hands.
