According to Dupuy and Dupuy's Encyclopedia of Military History, the Earl of Manchester was in command of parliamentary forces here. john 21:48 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC)

Yes, my sources say he was "nominally" in command. The article doesn't make that very clear, does it? Deb 21:59 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC)

The fall of York is worth mentioning, as there are several unusual aspects to it. Any takers?

The reference to Southern France in the final paragraph - surely not true is it?

[edit] Re-write

I have rewritten this article, but it needs alot more information in the background section and the battle. Not to mention copy-editing...better prose...but I've started to cite sources, of which this article needs alot more. Additionally, I don't really have a good grasp of the aftermath or general historical analysis of the outcome.

Also, I have little information on the exact number of troops and their layout before the battle began (who led what, etc). That needs to be expanded, and clarified. Qjuad 13:20, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
