The Battle of Naseby was fought this day in 1645.
It was the key battle of the first English Civil War and a decisive defeat for the Royalist forces.
"After Hastings and the Battle of Britain, which respectively began and ended the last millennium, Naseby was arguably the most important and decisive battle ever fought in England. Where those other battles were the result of challenges to the very basis of the kingdom by foreign foes, Naseby was the culmination of a bloody Civil War and the stepping stone for a political revolution."
