1645 Chester Finally Month Parliament Siege Takes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the pivotal moment in the Battle of Chester, also known as the Siege of Chester, which took place in the year 1645 during the English Civil War. The three-month-long siege saw the Parliament army, led by Sir William Brereton, laying siege to the city held by the Royalists under the command of the Earl of Newcastle. The print depicts the final assault on the city walls, with Parliament troops charging forward, their banners unfurled, ready to breach the fortifications and claim victory. The Royalist defenders can be seen atop the walls, firing arrows and musket balls down onto the advancing army. The smoke and debris from the intense battle fill the air, adding to the chaotic scene. The successful capture of Chester was a significant turning point in the war, as it marked the Parliament army's first major victory in the north of England and boosted their morale. The Battle of Chester is an important chapter in British history, and this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the intense and brutal fighting that took place during the English Civil War.
