Parliament’s New Army Model Debated by Commons and Lords
A 1644 pamphlet records January debates in Parliament on funding and structuring the army. The Commons pressed the Lords to pass the Ordinance authorizing a large army, with detailed regimental lines and unit counts, while the Lords delayed and debated the measures. The document notes finance and command concerns, including the total force around 22 700 and division into horse and foot regiments.
