Beschreibung:

The Battle of Marston Moor, also known as the Second Battle of Newbury, was fought on October 27, 1644, during the First English Civil War. It was a victory for the Parliamentarian forces, led by Sir William Waller, over the Royalist forces, led by King Charles I. The battle took place near the town of Newbury in Berkshire, England, and was the second of two major battles fought at that location during the Civil War. The Parliamentarians were able to repel a Royalist attack and secure a strategic victory, although both sides suffered heavy losses. The battle was significant because it prevented the Royalists from gaining control of the strategically important town of Newbury and denied them a chance to link up with allied forces in the south. this would outcome to be a huge turning point for the royalist army that they would not come back from.
