Description:
For educational purposes<br/><br/>The Battle of Marston Moor on 2 July 1644, was one of the most important of the entire English Civil War. <br/><br/>It was here that a force of some 27,000 Parliamentarian and Scottish troops routed an army of just 18,000 Royalists. <br/><br/>Crucially, the Royalist stronghold of York was lost and King Charles's cause in the north virtually collapsed. It was a defeat from which the King would never recover. <br/><br/>Featuring spectacular battle reconstruction footage and dramatised eye-witness accounts, this episode tells the powerful story of one of English history's greatest military engagements.
