Dunbar 1650 | Stuart Reid, Colin Turner (Illust.) | Osprey | 2004 | After the Scots proclaimed Charles II as king, Oliver Cromwell invaded Scotland in 1650. He was harried by the Scottish army under David Leslie and forced to retreat to Dunbar. Leslie`s army was poised to defeat the English but zealous ministers got rid of many of the best soldiers and then led the remaining men down from their hilltop position to engage the enemy. This resulted in the rout of the Scots and in Cromwell`s victory. This is the story of that battle. | 1374 |
