Ironsides was a nickname given to Oliver
Cromwell by Prince
Rupert after the battle of
Marston Moor (July 1644). The title was derived, according to a contemporary writer, ‘from the impenetrable strength of his troops, which could by no means be broken or divided’. Later the term was extended to the soldiers themselves—the double regiment of cavalry which Cromwell had raised and trained in East Anglia at the outbreak of the Civil War, and known both for its rigid discipline and its religious radicalism. At the founding of the
New Model Army in 1645 the regiment was divided, half being assigned to General Thomas
Fairfax and the other half to Colonel Edward Whalley.
