being in the heads of the severall Troops and Regiments to give them directions and to bring them on upon the enemy hazarding their persons as far and further then any particular Souldier in the Army By this time all the enemies foot being dispersed and gone excepting two Regiments they retiring themselves found their Ordnance behinde them without any Guard and there they made a stand and made use of their Cannon shooting divers shot at us at which time our Regiment of foot began to want Powder otherwise we had charged them both with horse and foot which in all probability would have utterly ruined their Infantry for those two Regiments were the onely st●ke which they had now left in the hedge But partly through want of Ammunition and partly being tyred with fighting all the day the whole brunt of the Battell having been sustained by two Regiments of horse and four or five of foot we made no great haste to charge them so that the enemies horse that had been pillaging at Keynton had leisure to come about some on one hand of us and some on the other and so joyned with their foot Yet as they came back on our left hand Sir Philip Stapleton with his Troop went out to charge some 4 or 5 Troops of them which went away from him as fast as they could upon the spur to the rest of their Company and their foot that stood by their Ordnance most of the enemies horse being gathered to their foot most of our horse also gathered to our foot and so we stood horse and foot one against the other till it was night Our Army being thus possessed of the ground that the enemy chose to fight upon stood there all night the enemy having withdrawn their Army to the top of the hill for more security to themselves where they made great fires all the night long whilst we in the mean time drew backe some of our owne Ordnance which they had once in their possession and some of theirs which they had left behinde The next morning a little before it was light we drew back our Army towards the Town to our other Brigadoe and Artillary and Ammunition that was come and lodged there and the enemy drew out their horse in the morning upon the side of the hill where staying till towards night whil'st their foot was retyring behinde the hill and marching avvay at length a little before night their horse also marched avvay and about an houre after our horse also marched tovvards their Quarters the Foot and som● horse staying all night in their Quarters in and before Keynton and the next day the vvhole Army both horse and foot marched tovvards Warwicke to refresh themselves instead of vvhich if they had marched tovvards Banbury they vvould have found more victuals and had in all probabilities dispersed all the foot of the Kings Army and taken his Canon and Carriages and sent his horse farther off to plunder vvhereas novv because vve did not follovv them though they quitted the field to us which we fought on and left their quarter before us the next day yet they begin to question who had the day It is true there were Colours and Canon taken on both sides without any great difference in the numbers but for the number and quality of men slaine and hurt it is verily believed they lost foure times as many at the least as vve did and in saying foure times as many I am confident I speake much belovv the truth There vvere slain on their side the Earle of Lindsey Generall of their Army the Lord Aubigney brother to the Duke of Richmond Sir Edward Verny Colonell John Mourse and divers other gentlemen and Commanders and very many hurt Of our side vvere slaine the Lord St. John Colonell Charles Essex Lievtenant-Colonell Ramsey and none other of note either killed or dangerously hurt that I can heare of they acknovvledge that they lost 1200 men but it is thought they lost 2000 and vvhereas they report vve lost divers thousands vvhere one man judgeth that vve lost 400 ten men are of opinion that vve lost not 200 Souldiers besides the poore Waggoners and Carters These Persons undervvritten vvere all of the Right vving and never stirred from their Troops but they and their Troops fought till the last minute The Lord Generalls Regiment Sir Philip Stapleton Captain

Fiennes Sir Arthur Hasilrigge Captain Longe A LETTER Purporting the true relation of the Skirmish at Worcester SIR I Would not have troubled you with the relation of the fight that hapned betwixt our Troops and those under the condust of Prince Rupert neer Worcester so long after the action but that I understand you have still many false reports concerning it at London to the disadvantage of the publique and of particular persons And though I shal not undertake nor is it possible for any one man to give an exact accompt of all particulars yet so far forth as I shall make a relation of the busines I shall make a true one according to that which I either saw my self or received by credible information from others He that commanded in chief in this action was Collonel Brown who being at Alcester with his Regiment of Dragoones and two Troops of Horse under the command of Captain Nathaniell and Captain John Fiennes he went to my Lord Generall and as it should seem suggested to his Excellency that with addition of some more Horse he might do some service in surrounding the City of Worcester before his Excellency came thither with his Army and in keeping all supplies from going into the Town and those Troops from going out that were already in it So Collonel Sands with his Regiment of horse and three Troops more being sent to Collonel Brown to Alcester though they had marched ten miles that day yet they were permitted only to refresh themselves an houre or two and to give their horses a little hay in a meddow
