See also:ROBERT See also:LUNDY (fl. 1688)
, See also:governor of See also:Londonderry
.
Nothing is known of See also: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 (1143-1214)
- WILLIAM (1227-1256)
- WILLIAM (1J33-1584)
- WILLIAM (A.S. Wilhelm, O. Norse Vilhidlmr; O. H. Ger. Willahelm, Willahalm, M. H. Ger. Willehelm, Willehalm, Mod.Ger. Wilhelm; Du. Willem; O. Fr. Villalme, Mod. Fr. Guillaume; from " will," Goth. vilja, and " helm," Goth. hilms, Old Norse hidlmr, meaning

- WILLIAM, 13TH
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 (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

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. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
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
