Lord Deputy of Ireland in 1687, he began creating a Catholic-dominated Irish army and political establishment. Aware of preparations for invasion by his nephew and son-in-law
William of Orange, James sent Sarsfield to Dublin in September to persuade Tyrconnell to provide him with Irish troops. This proved unsuccessful, and in November James was deposed by the
Glorious Revolution. Sarsfield took part in the
Wincanton Skirmish, one of the few military actions during the invasion; he remained in England until January when he was allowed to join James in France.

. When an Irish brigade was sent to France in October, French ambassador
D'Avaux proposed Sarsfield as its commander. He noted that while "not...of noble birth
.. (he) has distinguished himself by his ability, and (his) reputation in this kingdom is greater than that of any man I know
..He is brave, but above all has a sense of honour and integrity in all that he does".
James rejected this, stating that although unquestionably brave, Sarsfield was 'very scantily supplied with brains.' His role at the
Boyne was peripheral, although the battle was less decisive than often assumed, Jacobite losses being around 2,000 from a force of 25,000. James returned to France, leaving Tyrconnell in control; he was the leader of the "Peace Party", who wanted to negotiate a settlement preserving Catholic rights to land and public office. Sarsfield headed the "War Party", who felt they could gain more by fighting on; it included the
Luttrell brothers,
Nicholas Purcell and English Catholic
William Dorrington, a former colleague from Monmouth's Regiment.
The position of the War Party was strengthened by the
Declaration of Finglas

With Tyrconnell absent in France, Sarsfield took control and in December 1690, arrested several leaders of the peace faction. He then bypassed James by asking Louis XIV direct for French support, and requesting the removal of Tyrconnell and the army commander
Berwick, James' illegitimate son. The latter, who later described Sarsfield as "a man

, an attempt to placate an "increasingly influential and troublesome figure". A large French convoy arrived at Limerick in May, along with
St Ruth, appointed military commander in an attempt to end the conflict between the factions. St Ruth and 7,000 others died at
Aughrim in July, reputedly the bloodiest battle ever on Irish soil. Sarsfield's role is unclear: one account claims he quarrelled with St Ruth, and was sent to the rear with the cavalry reserves.
The remnants of the Jacobite army regrouped at Limerick; Tyrconnell died of a stroke in August, and in October, Sarsfield negotiated terms of surrender. He has been criticised for this, having constantly attacked Tyrconnell for advocating the same thing, while it is suggested the Williamite army was weaker than he judged. However, the collapse of the Shannon line and surrender of Galway and Sligo left him little option; without French supplies, the military position was hopeless, and defections meant his army was dissolving.

preserved the Jacobite army by allowing its remaining troops to enter French service; about 19,000 officers and men, including Sarsfield, chose to leave in what is known as the
Flight of the Wild Geese. Sarsfield's handling of the civil articles was less successful; most of its protections were ignored by the new regime, although Sarsfield may have viewed it as temporary, hoping to resume the war.
Exile and death
On arrival in France, Sarsfield became

in the army of exiles, an appointment James made with great reluctance. In addition to other acts of perceived insubordination, Sarsfield allegedly told William's negotiators at Limerick "change but kings with us, and we will fight it over again". After the planned invasion of England was abandoned in 1692, the exiles became part of the French army, and Sarsfield a French ''marechal de camp''.

Legacy
Sarsfield left few contemporary records, and those that exist are "disconcertingly incomplete". It is impossible to determine his precise political views, almost nothing is known of his family life, and none of the alleged portraits of him can be authenticated. This allowed later writers to use him as a vehicle for their own needs, especially his portrayal as the "heroic ideal of an Irish soldier".
His success at Ballyneety remains his most famous achievement, although a 1995 study suggests it had limited military value, and his men may have indiscriminately slaughtered women and children. He has also been criticised for the role he played in creating divisions within the Jacobite camp; senior officers considered him rash and easily manipulated, although he seems to have been popular with the rank and file.
Mythologising began during his lifetime; the poet
Dáibhí Ó Bruadair, 1625 to 1698, composed a
panegyric describing Sarsfield as virtuous, heroic, popular and a great leader, but admitted they had not met. The anonymous song "Slán le Pádraig Sáirseál", or "Farewell to Patrick Sarsfield", is considered a classic of Irish-language poetry. Nineteenth-century nationalists like
Thomas Davis celebrated him as a national hero and patriot, while in the early 20th century he was also depicted as a staunch Catholic.

crisis, his image as a brave and honourable patriot was used to counter Unionist claims that Catholics, and by definition nationalists, were incapable of self-government. When the Irish Folklore Commission began collecting material in the 1930s, they recorded many oral narratives about Sarsfield, including stories of buried gold, generosity to the poor, having his horse shod backward to escape from pursuers, and apparitions of dogs or white horses.
