The Siege of Loyalty House: A Civil War Story - Goodreads

Malcolm Gaskill remarks that parliamentary soldiers such as Robert Rodway ‘struggled to work out … what they were doing or why’ ( LRB, 30 March). Yet the psalms the soldiers sang before battle told them why they were there. Before Marston Moor, for example, they sang the second psalm: ‘The King and Rulers of the earth, conspire and all are bent, Against the Lord and Christ his Son, which he among us sent.’ And at Edgehill, number 149: ‘To plague the heathen, and correct the people with their hands: To bind their stately Kings in chains their Lords in iron bands. To execute on them the doom that written is before: This honour all his Saints shall have, praise ye the Lord therefore!’ And there were the ten verses of the popular song ‘The Zealous Soldier’ ( c.1646), which included the words: ‘For God, and for his cause, Ile count it gaine/To lose my life; O can one happier Die,/Then for to Fall in Battaile, to maintaine/Gods worship, truth, extirpate Popery.’Timbs, John; Gunn, Alexander (1893), North, Abbeys, Castles and Ancient Halls of England and Wales: Their Legendary Lore and Popular History, vol.III (2nded.), F.Warne & Co. Coleen Nolan shares an update on her family as she makes a heartbreaking admission: 'I've been feeling so redundant' The Crown will portray Princess Diana as pregnant and will showMohamed Al-Fayed claiming she and Dodi were killed as part of an 'establishment plot', source claims The fortifications sustained continuous cannon and mortar fire with minimal damage. The Royalists launched several successful sorties to disrupt Parliamentary efforts to set up batteries. As a result, Parliamentary forces were unable to establish any major artillery positions against the castle, and the army refused to replenish those guns that were lost or spiked during the sorties. Morale among the Roundheads also suffered greatly as the besieged shot soldiers and engineers on the battlefield.
