Marston Moor 1644: The Beginning Of The End
John Tincey, Graham Turner
The entry of the Scots into the English Civil War (1642–1651) on 19
January 1644 on the side of Parliament radically changed the balance of
power in the North of England. The Royalists in the North were forced
onto the defensive and besieged in York. In a bold march, Prince Rupert
outmanoeuvred his enemies and relieved York without a shot being fired.
However, when Rupert met the allied army in battle on Marston Moor on 2
July, his cavalry was defeated by Cromwell's Ironsides who then turned
on the Royalist infantry. The result was a hard-fought but catastrophic
defeat; the Royalist army was crushed and their forces driven from the
north of England.
