A detailed and highly readable study of Major-General John Lambert’s northern campaign during the Second Civil War, focusing on the events of 1648 and the fighting in the north of England. While much has been written on Oliver Cromwell and the first Civil War, Hill and Watkinson turn attention to Lambert, an important Parliamentarian commander whose military skill, judgement and leadership played a decisive role in the northern theatre.
The book re-examines contemporary sources to explore Lambert’s army, the condition of England before the Second Civil War, the road to Scotland, the actions around Pontefract, Appleby, Stainmore and Bowes, and the siege of Pontefract. Supported by maps, photographs, illustrations, notes, appendices, bibliography and index, it provides a valuable account of a lesser-known but important campaign.
A useful reference for readers interested in the English Civil War, Parliamentarian commanders, seventeenth-century campaigning, northern England during the Civil Wars, and the military career of Major-General John Lambert.
