‘The Battle of Marston Moor was one of the most important engagements of the English Civil War (war of 3 Kingdoms).
In 1644, York was held for the King, but besieged by Parliament. Prince Rupert of the Rhine's campaign in 1644 involved a large Royalist army coming North, laying siege to Liverpool, and massacring the defenders of Bolton, en route to York. Rupert's army was engaged outside York, at Marston Moor, and suffered a serious defeat.
Our speaker is Tim Cockitt, chair of MMHS, and also an enthusiastic member of the Battlefields Trust.
