Naseby, Battle of
Naseby, Battle of (14 June 1645) A decisive victory for the Parliamentary forces during the
ENGLISH CIVIL WAR. The battle took place near Naseby in Northamptonshire, after
CHARLES I's storming and sacking of Leicester. Led by Fairfax and Cromwell, the
NEW MODEL ARMY outnumbered the
CAVALIER force by about one-third. Prince Rupert's cavalry squandered an early advantage, as at
EDGEHILL. After a bitter struggle the Round-head forces proved superior, and the Cavaliers suffered extremely heavy losses.
