 The Siege of Reading 		 

Browsing Options:

In April 1643 a Parliamentarian army commanded by the Earl of Essex set out to besiege the Royalist stronghold of Reading as a preliminary to attacking Charles I's capital of Oxford.  Although the army succeeded in taking Reading, a combination of inadequate supplies, poor weather, epidemic disease and Royalist raids prevented the hoped for advance on Oxford and eventually led to the virtual disintegration of what its commander described as "the bravest Army in Christendom."  Using contemporary accounts by eyewitnesses and Parliamentarian and Royalist journalists wherever possible, this book tells the story of the failure of the Earl of Essex's 1643 spring offensive, concentrating in particular on a day-by-day account of the 12-day siege of Reading, now largely forgotten but on which "the eye of the whole kingdom was fixed" in late April 1643.
