The battle of Naseby finally destroyed the field army of the King and in two hours changed the history not only of Britain, but every modern democracy.
We know that about 1000 Royalists were killed and a further 5000 were marched off to captivity. However, like most battles prior to the modern era, the fate of the wounded of both sides has been a mystery.
Now the researchers from the Civil War Petitions Project have revealed the stories of some of the wounded survivors of Naseby. The project’s Principal Investigator Andrew Hopper, Professor of Local and Social History at the University of Oxford tells Publisher, Mike Gibbs about their lives after the battle.
