A TRVE RELATION By Colonell Morgan In a Letter of the totall Routing of the Lord Ashley by him and Sir William Brereton at STOVV With the Names of all the Prisoners by them taken These being true Copies and examined are Printed and published according to Order of PARLIAMENT LONDON Printed for Matthew Walbanck at Grays-Inne Gate March 24 1645. A True Relation by Colonell Morgan in a Letter of the totall routing the Lord Ashley by him and Sir William Brereton at Stow. Gentlemen HAving received a Command from the Honourable Committee of both Kingdomes to take the charge of a brigade of Horse and foote drawne out of the Garisons of Gloucester Hereford and Evishalm to prevent the Lord Ashley's conjunction with the Kings forces at Oxford and to effect that designe I drew forth and randevoused seasonably neere Evishalme and Warwicke notwithstanding the Lord Ashley endeavoured by all meanes to get by mee which much foyled my brigade to prevent in marching from place to place to secure the place upon River Avon Yet after some considerations I perceived that hee was unwilling to passe over so long as I lay neer the River Resolved upon Thursday last to quarter and campe in the most convenient place wheresoever hee made his passage to fall upon him and that night had intelligence of his march from Droit with neer 100. horse towards Bedford 3. miles from Evishalm whereof I presently advertised Colonell Whaly and Colonell Fleetwood and sent post to Sir VVill Brereton for the assistance of his horse which was accordingly granted but upon Friday the Lord Ashley still continuing his march and Sir VVilliam Brereton not come up was forced to hold him in action for the space of 4. houres skirmishing with by parties and keeping my body drawne up in a most advantagious place for pursute in case he should passe by me before sir VVill Brereton came up which about nine a clocke that night he did whereupon I resolved to pursue thinking it more advantagious to fall upon his reare then at that time to draw out to meete him in the field and in my pursute Sir VVilliam Brereton came up with 800 horse of whom I desired to receive orders but he referred the whole command of the field unto me then being equall in number to the Lord Ashley's forces consisting of 3000. I commanded 400. horse 200 Firelocks to charge his reare guard to put him to a stand before he should passe through Stow upon the Would and as my intelligence informed me the King was to have joyned with him within 7 mile of that place where hee made choyse of his ground and had the wind with him yet trusting in God I drew up and charged him whom halfe an houre before day on Saturday morning I put to a total route killed many Gent. and Officers of quality took prisoners the L. Ashley and all his foot officers whose names are in the inclosed list besides 1600. common souldiers whereof many being wounded I gave liberty to goe to their owne homes taking the oath of the 5th of April the rest I have sent to Gloucester there is also taken 2000. arms all their ammunition Sir VVill Brereton desired that the L. Ashley should be his prisoner which I willingly condiscended unto not doubting but hee will give a good account of him to the Parliament this good successe the glory thereof I desire may be given unto God will prevent the King from drawing an army into the field which he expected I am now marched towards Worcester where I shall observe such orders as I shall receive from the Parliament and the Committee of both Kingdomes and in the mean time shall endeavour to make use of all opportunities to weaken the enemy and to advance the publike service which shal alwayes be the desire of him who will ever subscribe himselfe to bee Gentlemen Your faithfull friend and servant THO: MORGAN Cambdin the 22 of March 1645. at 6. a clock at night A List of the persons taken by Colonell Morgan at Stow in the Would March 21. 1645.
