Indeed. Only the winners write history ;-)
And, England tried to take its revenge a few years later later:

Is this the one called "glorius revolution", the one the Brits don't count
in the number of defeats and being concurred?

My understanding is that the "Glorious Revolution" started with an
invitation to Prince of Orange. So it doesn't count.
The backlash is still going on in Northern Ireland, though.

I concur with Stephen. That was a different course of events. I think
that the expression "most glorious defeat" was given to the battle in
order to save face. :-)
