THE BATTLE OF MONTGOMERY 1644: The English Civil War In The Welsh Borderlands

1-213460

Making extensive use of contemporary sources -- many of which are referenced here for the first time -- the campaign, the armies and their commanders are fully considered before the battle is investigated. As the site has not been certainly located, the author uses fieldwork and archival information to propose the most likely battlefield before examining the course of the engagement in the context of contemporary tactics and weaponry.

While the battle is the main subject, The Battle of Montgomery, 1644 also considers the wider war in Northerly Wales and the North-West and West Midlands of England -- a region that remains underrepresented in Civil War historiography. Extensively illustrated, it also includes specially commissioned artwork.
