3 Sept 1651: On The Field - Worcester. Charles headed back to his headquarters located in the two story half timber house beside the St. Martin Gate on the north side of town.

4 Sept 1651 / Nameless Souls. The horses of those who had come with the King stood casually inside the remains of the courtyard, still saddled and happily munching on the long grass that had grown up within the collapsed walls. Several of the beasts looked over at them, pricking their ears forward curiously, then went back to their breakfast. Pressing close to the cool stone, Charles peeked cautiously around the ancient wall, and suddenly the chanting stopped. He looked both ways, but the area was em...

Whitehall Scrolls: 3 Sep 1651 - At the River Temes Worcester

3 Sep 1651 - At the River Temes Worcester. Charles rode out of the city of Worcester by the western gate. He spurred the horse and raced towards Montgomery’s regiments. The men cheered and waved their hats as he passed, their officers sending a good number of them in his wake. He arrived to find a line of musketeers on the north back of the Temes, taking shots at the still distant red coated regiment marching determinedly in their direction, pikes held upright and silver helmets gleaming in the sun.

3 Sept. 1651 - Worcester / First Light. 8220;Here they come Charles,” Buckingham said, his spyglass aimed at the Severn. Charles immediately swung his own in that direction and frowned. A large body of red coated figures were slowly making their way north along the west side of the river. 8220;Cromwell’s moving men off the hill.” He said and the other two both lowered their glasses and looked surprised. 8221; he asked. Wilmot gave him a wicked grin and laughed lowly. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 3 Sept...

Whitehall Scrolls: The Beginning
http://crownsandquills.blogspot.com/2009/09/this-blog-is-begun-on-3-september-2009.html
This Blog is begun on 3 September 2009. which is the 358th anniversary of the Battle of Worcester where the light that had been the Monarchy of England was extinguished by Oliver Cromwell and his New Model Army. The lantern was eventually re-lit, but not for years, when King Charles II was Restored to the throne on May 29th, 1660 - which also happened to be his 30th birthday.
