1648 and All That: The Scottish Invasions of England, 1648 and 1651. Proceedings of the 2022 Helion and Company 'Century of the Soldier'
Following the execution of Charles Ist in January 1649, the Scots supporting his son Charles IInd went to war against England, now a republic. A second invasion of England was launched, and the Scots found themselves corned at Worcester by English forces, once again led by Oliver Cromwell. The battle, the last major action of the British Civil Wars was fought on the 3rd September 1651, was described by Cromwell as 'a crowning mercy'.
The venue for the 2022 conference was Worcester Cathedral. The obvious theme for the conference was the Scottish invasions of England in 1648 and 1651. Not only did Worcester witness the last major battle of the British Civil Wars, but the Cathedral was used as a temporary prison to hold the Scottish prisoners.
The papers in this book of proceedings include:
Ronald Hutton - Key Note Speaker and Foreword
Stuart Jennings - Colonel Francis Thornhagh and the Battle of Preston, 1648
Peter Gaunt - A Tale of Two Risings: Was the second civil war in England and Wales
primarily pro-Royalist or anti-Parliamentarian?
Malcolm Wanklyn - The Control of Command in the British Wars 1642-1651
