@stephenkb.bsky.social Are you suggesting the Roundheads were more live-and-let-live than the Cavaliers?
The genius of #Ancestry has turned this reference to 'A Great Battell' at Kineton in Warwickshire in 1642, into a burial record for a Theresa. A. Baffel. 
Ever heard of someone called Great Battell? No, nor has anyone. A perfect example of why should you never trust AI, OCR or automated readers on historical documents. It's because of doozies like this...

Interesting observation trawling online archives for references to the dead at battle of #Edgehill 1642.
Contemp. reports say therewere so many bodies they were buried in pits, but you'd think there would still be some recorded in nearby villages, died later of wounds, or taken home & buried.
But there's so little, as if 23rd Oct never happened. Stark compared to other battles w/ so many records.
Is it really just that nearly everyone was buried on site? 
Why is anything even vaguely resembling an #EnglishCivilWar style royalist portrait dumped in the 'circle of William Dobson' category? It's so lazy. This one isn't in any universe either in the manner of, after, or indeed 'circle' of Dobson. It's a random man in a beard, collar and black doublet. Could be any manner, could well even be European.

The tiny Shropshire border Hamlet of Chatwell is haunted by the spirit of a royalist soldier. He is said to wander the lanes and roads leading to the village on horseback, silently - as if he is searching...
I’ve just found two strange but intriguing things about Miles Corbet. He might have been a Colonel but I’m assuming it’s from Cromwell’s Campaign in Ireland and it could’ve been that Miles actually had a son. Not sure how but yeah. I’ve spoken to a mutual about this
Sir Thomas Fairfax is one of the least hated War of The Three Kingdoms historical figure. If anything I’m very proud to be a close relative and a descendant of the Fairfax family. Good old Black Tom was a respond man I can imagine

Happy 409th birthday (or at least, baptism) to Edward Dobson, stationer, bookseller, pamphleteer, Royalist rebel and literary pain in the neck to the #EnglishCivilWar Parliament in London. Brother to painter William, who was over in Oxford doing portraits of Charles I, Ned fought the King's enemies in his own unrepentant - and dangerous - way: he slayed them in print. Edward disappeared from the records in 1644. I hope one day to find out what happened to him.
The execution of King Charles: ‘Let’s put all brutish tyrants down’. The king’s beheading in 1649 came at a time of social tumult. The power of the church and nobility was damaged and England became a republic for ten years. But radicals such as the Levellers, and communists such as Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers, wanted to go much further https://peopleandnature.wordpress.com/2023/05/04/the-execution-of-king-charles-lets-put-all-brutish-tyrants-down/ The picture is a detail from a contemporary engraving, showing the execution #coronation #englishcivilwar #diggers #winstanley
This video, from the folks at the National Civil War Centre in Newark, is utterly brilliant!

Sir Thomas Fairfax, 3rd Baron Fairfax of Cameron (1612-1671), was the first and highly successful commander of the Parliamentarian New Model Army during the English Civil Wars (1642-1651). Fairfax's leadership, tactical prowess, and courage were all evident in many battles, but his greatest triumph was utterly defeating the Royalists at the Battle of Naseby in June 1645.https://www.worldhistory.org/Sir_Thomas_Fairfax/ #EnglishCivilWar #SirThomasFairfax #History
