Royal Armouries Battle of Marston Moor film clip

[fdmarminy]

wait... Parliament executed the king on the grounds of treason with plans to invade England with foreign armies. Why the hell are parliament allowed to get away with Scottish armies invading England?

I wouldn't say any Foot Regiment were superior to any other during the English Civil War, Newcastle's Foot (raised mostly from County Durham and North Yorkshire) did fight a herioc rearguard action at Marston Moor, penned inside the White Sykes Close (an earthen sheep pen) they were shot at by Scottish Dragoons and assaulted by Parliamentarian Horse (doubt Cromwell was part of it). Newcastles troops were known as the Whitecoats because that is what they wore.

The Newcastle Regiment was there!!!!!!!! THE GREATEST REGIMENT FOR THE ROYALIST & AS THE NORTHUMBERLAND FUSILIERS THE BEST IN THE BRITISH ARMY!!!!!!!!!!! They were amazing in this battle

[witchhunter32]

newcastle regiment was best ? i thought it was the kings lifeguards

[BritPatriot4Ever]

No bloody way, the Newcastle Regiment set up a defence towards the battle which lasted long into the night holding the Parliamentarians

[witchhunter32]

[BritPatriot4Ever]

@witchhunter32 although prince ruperts regiment of foote were charged many times at naseby but parliarment failed to break their defense untill long after the battle had finished

[whikless]

They where certainly the bravest. Although i'm pro-parliamentarian, I will admit if I was to die in war, I would choose to die in their last stand before they passed into history.
