Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, Vol. 15 Two years ago, in a paper read on April 20, 1899, and printed in volume xiii. of the Transactions of this Society, I traced the early history of the famous regiment of horse raised by Cromwell, the troopers of which are popularly known by the name of the Ironsides, though that name properly belongs not to them alone, but to the cavalry of the Cromwellian army in general. That paper closed with the dissolution of the army of the Eastern Association in April 1645, and with the consequent subdivision of the regiment which Cromwell had raised. I propose now to trace the history of the two regiments which sprang out of it. In the spring of 1645, when the New Model Army was raised, officers and soldiers from the three previously existing armies of Essex, Manchester, and Waller were incorporated in the new organisation. The army under Manchester, best paid and most efficient of the three, furnished the most important contribution. Of all the regiments in the pay of the Eastern Association, Cromwell´s famous regiment of Ironsides was numerically much the largest. Under his command it had risen to ´a double regiment of fourteen full troops, and these as full of religious men as he could get.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
