Siege News and Military Actions in 17th Century England
A desultory wartime summary reports attempts to recruit for the Parliament, release of prisoners, and liberty for many to join the Protestant Army in Iceland against rebels. It details cavalry engagements near Bitter and Newport, including Captain Enox and Captain Banus, captures of enemies, and around Banbury where besiegers and besieged exchange actions. Letters note Admiralty reports of Royalist advances repelled and a Northern Northampton march aiding the siege of Banbury with surrounding movements and expected reinforcements from Major General Braveney.
