Proceedings of the Parliament and Military Actions in May
Reports from the House describe petitions by Sir Thomas Fairfax and Scottish officers over papers affecting Col. Behre. Letters from Hull note Fairfax and Scottish horse near Belvoir and Manchester’s horse joining, totaling about 8000, with York besiegers gaining ground and Scots forces assembling near Newcastle. Lords and Commons confer on the Kingdoms Committee, with agreement to continue the committee but unresolved nominating members. Updates recount Lord General’s movements toward Wicham, Hotton’s approaching force, and Waller’s 300 men landing at Hampon and delivering courage, ammo, and victuals under harsh enemy assaults, including ladders left behind and several prisoners taken.
