The Book

This book offers a detailed account of the ways in which supporters of parliament and of the king waged way in Lancashire in the 1640s and 1650s. It adds to the extensive work done over the past decades on the civil wars in Lancashire by looking specifically at the mechanisms for raising, supplying, organising and deploying troops, and their impacts. In drawing contrasts between the approaches, and success, of the two sides, it helps to offer an explanation for the success of the parliament in this initially, seemingly, unpromising territory. It will be of interest to specialists in the history of the wars of the seventeenth century in the British Isles and in the history of Lancashire.
