F. for Z. Blaiklock July 11. 1644. SIR MY earnest desire to satisfie your expectation and the fear which I have least our affairs here should not be truly represented unto you hath moved me to give you this short account of the late Fight Upon Munday last understanding that Prince Rupert with about Twenty thousand Foot and Horse did march towards us our whole Army arose from the Siege and marched towards Longmarston Moore about four or five miles from York where we quartered that night But the Prince having notice of our march passed with his Army by the way of Burronbridge so that by reason of the interposing River we could not hinder his passage into York Whereupon we marched to Todcaster to prevent his going southward but before our Van was advanced within a mile of Todcaster we were advertised that the Prince was upon our Reare and was come the length of Longmarston where he drew up his Army in a place of great advantage having the addition of the Earle of Newcastles Forces reported to be about 6000. with as great expedition as could be our Army was called back In the mean while the Enemy perceiving that our Cavalry had possessed themselves of a corn hill and having discovered neer unto that hill a place of great advantage where they might have both Sun and Winde of us advanced thither with a Regiment of Red Coats and a party of Horse but we understanding well their Intentions and how prejudiciall it would be unto us if they should keep that ground we sent out a party which beat them off and planted there our left wing of Horse having gained this place Generall Lesley gave order for drawing up of the Battell The right wing of Horse was intrusted to Sir Thomas Fairfax a man of known Valour and Resolution it did consist of his whole Cavalry and three Regiments of the Scottish Horse commanded by the Earl of Dalhousie Earl of Eglington and Lord Balgony next unto them was drawn up the right wing of the Foot consisting of the Lord Fairfax his Foo● and two Brigades of the Scottish Foot for a Reserve In the main Battell was the Regiments of the Earl of Lindsey Lord Mairland Earl of Cassilis and Kelheads and two Brigades of the Earl of Manchesters In the Reserve was the Earl of Backleign his Regiment the Earl of Lowdons Earl of Dumferlings Lord Coupers Generall Hamiltons Generall of the Artillery Edinburgh Regiment had a Brigade of Manchesters Upon the left Wing of Horse was the Earl of Manchesters whole Cavalry under Command of Lieut. Generall Cromwell and three Regiments of the Scotish Horse Commanded by Generall Major Lesly and upon their left hand neer a crosse ditch where the enemy had a Regiment of Foot was placed the Scotish Dragoones under the Command of Colonell Frizell Orders being given to advance the Battell was led on by Generall Hammilton Lieutenant Generall Baylie and Major Generall Crawford the Reserve being committed to the trust of Generall Major Lumsdaine There was a great Ditch between the Enemy and us which ran along the front of the Battell only between the Earl of Manchesters foot and the enemy there was a plain in this Ditch the enemy had placed foure Brigades of their best Foot which upon the advance of our Battell were forced to give ground being gallantly assaulted by the E. of Lindsies regiment the Lord Maitlands Cassilis and Kelheads Generall Maior Crawford having overwinged the enemy set upon their flank and did very good execution upon the enemy which gave occasion to the Scottish Foote to advance and passe the Ditch The right wing of our Foot had severall misfortunes for betwixt them and the enemy there was no passage but at a narrow Lane where they could not march above 3. or 4. in front upon the one side of the Lane was a Ditch and on the other an Hedge both whereof were lined with Musketiers notwithstanding sir Thomas Fairfax charged gallantly but the enemy keeping themselves in a body and receiving them by threes and foures as they marched out of the Lane and by what mistake I know not sir Thomas Fairfax his new leavied regiments being in the Van they wheeled about and being hotly pursued by the enemy c●me back upon the L. Fairfax Foot and the reserve of the Scottish Foot broke them wholly and trod the most part of them under foot Sir Thomas Fairfax Colonell Lambert and sir Thomas his brother with five or six Troopes charged through the enemy and went to the left wing of Horse the two Squadrons of Balgomes regiment being divided by the enemy each from the other one of them being Lanciers charged a regiment of the enemies foot and put them wholly to the rout and after ioyned with the left wing of Horse the other by another way went also to the left wing The Earle of Eglingtons regiment maintained their ground most of the enemies going on in the pursuit of the Horse and Foote that fled but with the losse of four Lieutenants the Lieut. Colonell the Maior and Eglingtons Sonne being deadly wounded Sir Charles Lucas and Generall Maior Porter having thus divided all our Horse on that wing assaulted the Scottish Foot upon their Flanks so that they had the Foot upon their front and the whole Cavalry of the enemies left wing to fight with whom they encountered with so much courage and resolution that having enterlined their Musquetiers with Pikemen they made the enemies Horse notwithstanding for all the assistance they had of their foot at two severall assaults to give ground and in this hot dispute with both they continued almost an houre still maintaining their ground Lieut. Generall Baily and Generall Maior Lumsdain who both gave good evidence of their courage and skill perceiving the greatest weight of the battell to lye sore upon the Earl of Linsies and Lord Maiklands regiment sent up a reserve for their assistance after which the enemies Horse having made a third assault upon them had almost put them in some disorder but that the E. of Lindsey and Lieut. Colonell Pitscotti Lieut. Col. to the Lord Maitlands Regiment behaved themselves so gallantly that they quickly made the enemies Horse to

retreat killed sir Charles Lucas his Horse tooke him Prisoner and gained ground upon the foote The Scottish Dragoons that were placed upon the left wing by the good managing of Colonell Frizell acted their part so well that at the first assault they beate the enemy from the ditch and shortly after killed a great many and put the rest to the rout L. Generall Cromwell charged Prince Ruperts horse with exceeding great resolution and maintained his charge with no lesse valour Generall-major Lesley charged the Earle of Newcastles brigade of White-coats and cut them wholy off some few excepted who were taken prisoners and after them charged a brigade of Green-coats whereof they cut off a great number and put the rest to the rout which service being performed he charged the enemies horse with whom L. Generall Cromwell was engaged upon the flanke and in a very short space the enemies whole Cavalry was routed on whom our fore-troopes did execution to the very walls of Yorke but our body of Horse kept their ground Lieut. Generall Cromwell and Major-generall Lesley being joyned and receiving advertisment that our Foot were engaged with the enemies Horse and Foot marched to their assistance and met with the enemies Horse being retreated upon the repulse they had from the Scottish Foot at the same place of disadvantage where they had routed our Horse formerly and indeed their successe was answerable if not much worse for we routed them wholly killed and tooke their chiefe Officers and most part of their Standards After which we set upon the reare of their Foot and with the assistance of our maine battell which all this time stood firme we put them wholly to the rout killed many and tooke their Officers and Colours and by this time we had no enemy in the Field We tooke all their Ordnance being in number 25. neere 130 barrels of Powder besides what was blowne up by the common Souldiers above an hundred Colours and ten thousand Armes besides two Waggons of Carbines and Pistols of spare Armes There were killed upon the place 3000. whereof upon a judicious view of the dead bodies two parts appeared to be Gentlemen and Officers There were 1500 prisoners taken whereof Sir Charles Lucas Lieutenant-generall of the Earl of Newcastles Horse Major-generall Porter and Major-generall Tillier besides divers Colonels Lieutenant-colonells and Majors The losse upon our part blessed be God is not great being onely of one Lieutenant-colonell some few Captaines and not 300 common Souldiers Upon Wednesday the day after the fight P.
