  • 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?

  • English Civil war battlefields I have been to (Non sieges)

    Battle of Edgehill - 1642

    Battle of Winceby - 1643

    Battle of Marston Moor - 1644

    Battle of Naseby - 1645

  • AHAHAH XD!! go to 0:54 and look at the general in the background that falls over XD

  • @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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • sweet

  • They are, & I'M FROM NEWCASTLE TOO!!!

    P.S. I don't have a geordie accent i have a southern accent, & i dont support Newcastle :P

  • cool , they sound pretty awesome then

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