[KMA] The Forgotten War: The Civil War in Yorkshire 1642-1643

By Mike Turpin.

Most accounts of the English Civil War tend to concentrate on the southern counties between Oxford and London with perhaps a passing reference to the “Battle of Adwalton” near Bradford and of course refer to the decisive battle on Marston Moor. This talk looks at the start of teh Civil War and argues taht the war started in Yorkshire wtih Charles coming North to claim his arsenal at Hull. The talk then describes the engagements between the Royalists and Parliamentarians in mainly West and East Yorkshire culminating in the Battle of Adwalton.
