The first mention of the tune is that it was one of two tunes (with "The White Cockade") played by the pipers of the Irish Brigade attached to the French forces which helped turn the tide of battle against the English troops at the battle of Fontenoy on May 11, 1745.

Flood (1906) and O’Neill (1913) believe was probably the last appearance in battle of the Irish Piob mor (war pipes or great pipes, which survived only in Scotland) of which there is any mention.

Rutherford's 200 Country Dances, volume 1, 1756, contains the first country dance printing of the tune, which also appears in English collections as a jig by the name "Barbary Bell."

Typically for popular melodies of the time, it also became the vehicle for many songs, including air 35, "A plague of these wenches," in the opera Love in a Village by T.A. Arne and I. Bickerstaffe (London, 1762). As song, country dance or quickstep it remained popular for many years. In later military tradition it was played on December 31, 1811 by the 87th Regiment band as a French attack became a rout at Tarifa, and Winstock (1970) remarks it was a favourite quickstep of the Napoleonic era Peninsular War in the British army.

Queen Victoria requested the melody from piper Thomas Mahon when she and the Prince Consort visited Ireland for the first time in 1849. Mahon was surprised to learn that she and the Prince were familiar “with the best gems in Irish music,” and he also played “The Royal Irish Quadrilles” and “Garryowen” at their behest.

The Queen must have been impressed with his playing, for she directed that henceforth Mahon have the title “Professor of the Irish Union Bagpipers to Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria” (O’Neill, 1913). English country dance versions appear several times in James Oswald’s Caledonian Pocket Companion (London, 1760), and James Aird printed it in Glasgow in his Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 1 (1782). In fact, English printings of the tune by far predate Irish ones, and it may be the provenance is English, despite the Irish-sounding title.

-"The Rolling Hornpipe" may have had 17th century Cheshire or Lancashire origins, but it received wide dissemination as a country dance and tune(s), albeit in several variations and derivatives that can be seen/heard as "[[Roaring Hornpipe (The)]]" (Wales), "[[Rowling Hornpipe]]," "[[Rowland Hornpipe]]," "[[Cheshire Rolling Hornpipe]]," "[[Oldham Rowling Hornpipe]]" and others.

-"Cheshire Rowling Hornpipe", for example, is in a minor key in Walsh's '''Third Book''', set in 3/4 time with the seventh sharpened in a conventional way, but Wright has it in 3/2 time in a major key (and within the compass of the bagpipes).

-John Offord (1985) speculates that the designation as 'rolling' hornpipes in the titles may have to do with not having syncopation in the melodies.
