A detailed account of the siege, storming and subsequent recapture of Leicester during the English Civil War. Jeff Richards examines the town’s political and military position, its Parliamentarian garrison, the Royalist campaign of May 1645 and the assault led by King Charles I and Prince Rupert. The narrative also considers the treatment of Leicester’s inhabitants, the contemporary controversy surrounding the storming and the event’s wider consequences, including the movement of the New Model Army and the approach to the Battle of Naseby. Extensively illustrated with black-and-white portraits, maps, drawings and contemporary material. This copy is signed and inscribed by the author, dated October 2001.
