Rupert became a General of the Horse, for the royalist cause, and early on in the Civil War won a battle at Powick Bridge, but at Edgehill left the battle with his cavalry which may have cost the Royalist forces victory. In 1643 he captured Bristol and in 1644 was involved in the relief of Newark and York, before loosing 1500 men in a fierce battle before he captured Liverpool castle. In November 1644, at Marston Moor, he commanded much of the royalist army when it was defeated. His capture of Leicester was reversed when the royalists lost the Battle of Naseby. He went on to surrender Bristol in 1645, he was then dismissed from the service by Charles and took no further part in the command of the Royalist forces. ---- Regular CATALOGUES issued, please e-mail for a FREE copy, they include WEST COUNTRY - ( History - Topography - Genealogy - Natural History - Biography - Mining - Dialect - Language - etc. ) ---- (Book ref.
