General Alexander Leslie's Troops Crossing the River Tyne at Newburn Ford, near Newcastle (1640): A Pivotal Moment in the Second Bishops War This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the Second Bishops War, as General Alexander Leslie's Scottish Covenanter troops cross the River Tyne at Newburn Ford, near Newcastle, on 27 August 1640. The Second Bishops War was a conflict between England and Scotland, ignited by religious and political tensions between the two nations. The scene depicts a diverse array of troops, both horse and foot, making their way through the shallow waters of the River Tyne. The horses, some with their riders still in the saddle, wade through the water, while infantry soldiers follow closely behind. In the background, the village of Newburn and the city of Newcastle can be seen, with their towering walls and spires providing a stark contrast to the rugged terrain of the riverbank. General Leslie, a prominent Scottish military leader, led his troops south from Scotland to support the English Parliamentarians in their struggle against King Charles I. The Battle of Newburn Ford, which took place on 30 August 1640, saw Leslie's forces defeat the Royalist army under the command of the Earl of Newcastle. This victory secured Scottish support for the Parliamentarian cause and marked a turning point in the English Civil War. The image, captured by Terry Parker, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political upheaval and military conflict in 17th-century Britain. The passage of General Leslie's troops across the River Tyne at Newburn Ford stands as a testament to the enduring power of historical events and the indelible mark they leave on our collective memory.
