In 1644, during the Civil War, the Parliamentarians besieged York, and many medieval houses outside the city walls were lost. The barbican at Walmgate Bar was undermined and explosives laid, but the plot was discovered. On the arrival of Prince Rupert, with an army of 15,000men, the siege was lifted. The Parliamentarians retreated some 6 miles (10km) from York with Rupert in pursuit, before turning on his army and soundly defeating it at the Battle of Marston Moor. Of Rupert's 15,000troops, 4,000 were killed and 1,500 captured. The siege was renewed and the city surrendered to Sir Thomas Fairfax [34] on 15 July.

The city is one of 15 in England to have a lord mayor, and one of three to have " The Right Honourable" title affixed, the others being London's and Bristol's. Historic governance of the city was as a county corporate, not included in the county's riding system. The city has since been covered by a municipal borough, county borough, and since 1996 a non-metropolitan district (the City of York), which also includes surrounding villages and rural areas, and the town of Haxby. The current district's local council is responsible for providing all local services and facilities throughout this area. York's city proper area had a population of 141,685 at the 2021 UK census.

They have the only walls set on high ramparts and they retain all their principal gateways. [211] They incorporate part of the walls of the Roman fortress and some Norman and medieval work, as well as 19th- and 20th-century renovations. [212] While the Roman colonia and fortress were on high ground, by 400AD the town was victim to occasional flooding from the Rivers Ouse and Foss, and the population reduced. [19] York declined in the post-Roman era, and was taken and settled by the Angles in the 5thcentury. [20]
