Lieuts The Lieut. Col. the Major and Eglintons son being deadly wounded Sir Charles Lucas and Gen. Major Porter having thus divided all our Horse on that wing assaulted the Scottish Foot upon their Flanks so that they have the Foot upon their front and the whole Cavalry of the enemies lest wing to fight with whom they encountred with so much courage resolution that having interlined their Musketiers with Pike-men 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 Lievtenant Generall Bailie and Generall Major Lumsden who both gave good evidence of their courage and skill perceiving the greatest weight of the battell to lye sore upon the Earl of Lindsayes and Lord Maitlands 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 Earl of Lindsay Lievtenant Colonel Pitscotti Lievtenant Colonel to the Lord Maitlands Regiment behaved themselves so gallantly that they quickly made the enemies Horse to retreat killed sir Charles Lucas his Horse took him Prisoner and gained ground upon the Foot 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 beat the Enemy from the ditch and shortly after killed a great many and put the rest to the rout Lord Generall Cromwell charged Prince Ruperts horse with exceeding great resolution and maintained his charge with no lesse valour Generall-Major Lesly charged the Earle of Newcastles Brigade of White-coats and cut them wholly 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 Lord Generall Cromwell was engaged upon the flank and in a very short space the Enemies whole Cavalry was routed on whom our fore-troops did execution to the very wals of York but our Body of Horse kept their ground Lieutenant Generall Cromwell and Major-Generall Lesly being joyned and receiving advertisement 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 dis-advantage where they had routed our Horse formerly and indeed their successe was answerable if not much worse for we routed them wholly killed and took their chief Officers and most part of their Standards After which wee set upon the Rear of their Foot and with the assistance of our main Battell which all this time stood firm we put them wholly to the rout killed many and took their Officers and Colours and by this time we had no Enemy in the Field Wee took all their Ordnance being in number 25. near 130. barrels of Powder besides what was blown up by the common souldiers above an hundred Colours 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 Lieut.
