THE CIVIL WAR – THE FIGHT FOR A KINGDOM, A COUNTY AND A TOWN (OR THE STORY OF A KING, A CLERK, A VICAR AND A BEAR)
Chris Rogers
Chris Rogers of Lord Robartes’ Regiment of Foote has written this exciting story about fighting in Northamptonshire in 1642, early in the Civil War. Tim Small has added the introductory paragraphs and reminds us that this year the Sealed
Knot marks the 375th anniversary of the Battle of Naseby 1645 with a major re- enactment of the battle planned for the August Bank Holiday.
Introduction
on 14 June 2020 it will be 375 years since the Battle of naseby. this battle, fought in northamptonshire in 1645, is perhaps one of the most significant in our country’s history, signalling as it did the defeat of Charles I by Parliament’s new Model Army, the country’s first red-coated army. It was a game-changer. Charles would go on to face execution four years later and Parliament would rule as a republic until the restoration of the monarchy with Charles II in 1660. the long- term outcome was that it established Parliament’s right to a permanent role in the government of the nation.
