England's Largest Battle: 46,000 Men at Marston Moor 1644

July 2nd, 1644. Forty-six thousand men—the largest armies ever assembled on English soil—faced each other across a Yorkshire moor. On one side, the dashing Prince Rupert and the King's northern army. On the other, a desperate alliance of Parliamentarian and Scottish forces. If the King lost here, he lost the North forever. By 10 PM, four thousand men lay dead. The myth of Royalist invincibility was shattered. And a relatively unknown cavalry commander named Oliver Cromwell had proven that discipline could defeat aristocracy. This is the story of Marston Moor. The battle where a summer storm and a surprise evening attack decided the fate of the English Civil War. Where the legendary "Ironsides" were born. And where the largest clash of arms in British history changed the nation's future in just two hours.
