Were there Irish troops serving in Holland during the 80 years war and if so what would they have looked like and are there any books about them.

I'm away from my books right now, but I think I can recall some were used as English auxiliaries (and may have defected to the Spanish).
I think they were deployed by Henry VII on the continent, and there's a contemporary engraving showing them, but I can't source it right now.
