Military measures and troop funding amid Civil War tensions
The House forms a Grand Committee to finalize pay for arrears and fund a new army, asserting it as the sole Southern force. News arrives of Colonel Holdarne’s success in the West with captures near Sydenham House and hundreds detained, while forces move toward Devon and Exeter. Reports mention King’s appointment of General to Worcester and Shropshire and shifting loyalties as Parliament seeks peace talks and secure alignment with Sir Peter Killigrew’s envoy.
