1645 Cattermole Cavalry Charge Completely Cromwell Defeats Larger Naseby Royalists

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Naseby, fought on June 14, 1645, was a pivotal moment in the English Civil War. In this historic print by Cattermole, published by Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness the final moments of the engagement between the forces of the Parliamentarian leader, Oliver Cromwell, and the Royalist army under the command of Prince Rupert of the Rhine. Despite the valiant charge of Prince Rupert's cavalry, Cromwell's larger army proved to be the decisive factor. The Royalists, although initially successful in driving back the Parliamentarian infantry, were ultimately overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of Cromwell's troops. The defeat at Naseby marked the end of the First English Civil War and effectively sealed the fate of King Charles I. The print captures the intensity and chaos of the battlefield, with horses and men locked in combat, and the smoke of gunpowder rising in the background. The determination and resolve of both sides are palpable, as they clash in a struggle for control of the kingdom. The historical significance of the Battle of Naseby is undeniable, and this print serves as a powerful reminder of the events that shaped the course of English history. The Battle of Naseby was a turning point in the English Civil War, and this print by Cattermole is a testament to the bravery and tenacity of the soldiers who fought in this historic engagement. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during a time of great upheaval and change, and a reminder of the enduring power of history to inspire and inform us.
