Such, was the composition of the best part of the parliamentary army, especially of Cromwell's famous cavalry, who were mostly the sons of respectable farmers and yeomen. While the master spring of all their actions was religious zeal: in some stern and even sullen, in others wild and fanatical, differing in individuals, yet pervading the mass. This religious enthusiasm was opposed to the high notions of honour and chivalric spirit of the king's troops, and as subsequent events proved, with the greatest success. All attempts at accommodation having failed; the royal standard had been ereeted at Nottingham; the important town and fortress of Hull had been twice besieged, and bravely defended; the battle of Edgehill had been fought; the Fairfaxes, father and son, had received commissions from parliament to levy forces, and leaving their delightful retreat of Denton, in the valley of Wharf, come forward to do their country service, by their never tiring activity and military skill; the kingdom from one end to the other had rung with the din of arms; victory an4 defeat had succeeded each other, and after two years of active warfare, neither party had much cause to boast of success; when, at the beginning of the year 1644, both parties prepared with greater energy than ever they had yet manifested, to decide the unhappy contest. The parliament having used great exertions during the winter in making preparations, and equipping forces, their affairs began to look a little more proroising. A Scottish army commanded by the earl of Iieven, crossed the border to their assistance: but its advance was muoh opposed and hindered by the marquis of Newcastle, who then commanded for the king in the north; whon to facilitate their advance, and turn the...

Download or read book Battlefield Yorkshire written by David Cooke and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2006-10-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yorkshire's past is replete with bloody battles and sieges. From the earliest times armies have marched across the Yorkshire countryside and have fought for control of the land, the towns and the cities. Roman, Viking, Norman and the Scottish invaders have all contributed ruthless episodes to the story. Christian fought pagan, Englishman fought foreign invader, and loyalist fought rebel, in some of the most destructive battles of British history. And bitter internal conflicts, which set neighbour against neighbour, created an equally violent heritage as rival lords and landowners contended for power and influence in the north. David Cooke gives a vivid description of the outbreaks of warfare that have punctuated the county's history. Using graphic contemporary accounts and numerous illustrations and maps, he creates a vivid narrative of a county that was a battleground until modern times.

Download or read book Yorkshire Sieges of the Civil Wars written by David Cooke and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-13 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout recorded history Yorkshire has been a setting for warfare of all kinds - marches, skirmishes and raids, pitched battles and sieges. And it is the sieges of the Civil War period - which often receive less attention than other forms of combat - that are the focus of David Cooke's new history. Hull, York, Pontefract, Knaresborough, Sandal, Scarborough, Helmsley, Bolton, Skipton - all witnessed notable sieges during the bloody uncertain years of the Civil Wars. His vivid reconstructions allow the reader to visit the castles and towns where sieges took place and stand on the ground where blood was spilt for the cause for king or Parliament. Using contemporary accounts and a wealth of maps and illustrations, his book allows the reader to follow the course of each siege and sets each operation in the context of the Civil Wars in the North.

Download or read book Towton written by John Sadler and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-04-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This medieval military history uses archeological research to shed new light on this significant and bloody battle in the Wars of the Roses. The battle at Towton in Yorkshire on March 29th, 1461, was a major turning point in the Wars of the Roses. It was also the largest, longest fought, and bloodiest day in English medieval history. In terms of the number of troops involved, the ruthlessness of the fighting, the quantity of casualties, and the decisive nature of its outcome, Towton stands out from the long sequence of battles fought for control of England in the fifteenth century. Drawing on the discoveries of modern archaeological research, historian John Sadler pieces together what actually happened on that fateful day. In this vivid reconstruction of the battle, he offers unflinching insight into the cruelties of medieval warfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Battles and Battlefields in England Groom fought like noble, squire like knight, As fearlessly and well. Flodden could not but be romantic even if it had not inspired the finest poetic battle-piece in the English language. It was not often, even in times nearer the heroic age than ours, that a king fell fighting at the head of his army, and never before, perhaps, after staking the whole fortunes of his kingdom, like the luckless James IV., upon one desperate hazard.
