The Battle of Chipping Sodbury on the Marsh, 1643. In picture one, Byron's regiment of horse prepare to chastise Cromwell's Eastern Association Horse. Huxley's dragoons should have helped, but Bathurst's regiment shot them into a disorderly rabble and sent them running. Picture two shows an unusually unready Parliamentary line facing a well-deployed Royalist centre. The clincher was the right flank. A Roundhead ambush failed to live up to its commander's intentions, and Generals Hopton and Prince Rupert swept away the rebel horse, exposing their flank and shattering their morale. God save the House of Stuart!
