Schlacht von Marston Moor

Description

Die Schlacht von Marston Moor fand am 2. Juli 1644 unweit York statt und war eine der entscheidenden Schlachten des Englischen Bürgerkriegs. In ihr errang das Heer des Parlaments seinen ersten bedeutenden Sieg über die Royalisten, denen damit ganz Nordengland verloren ging.

Nach dem Ausbruch des Bürgerkrieges 1642 gelang es den Truppen König Karls I. zunächst, fast den gesamten Norden und Westen Englands einschließlich Wales unter ihre Kontrolle zu bringen. Das Eingreifen der Schotten in den Bürgerkrieg stärkte 1643 aber wieder die Position des Parlaments. In Nordengland wurde die Lage der Royalisten im Sommer 1644 prekär, als ihre letzte Hochburg in der Region, die Stadt York, von Truppen des Parlaments und der Schotten unter Alexander Leslie, 1. Earl of Leven belagert wurde.
