@lukeaaron333 @Cromwellorg @MirandaMalins ...another is the famous 'headless horseman' engraving c.1655 by Pierre Lombard, which is based heavily on a 1633 painting of Charles I by Van Dyck, with Cromwell’s head replacing that of the King! There's lots of recycled imagery and messaging (often royal) in these paintings.🙂

#OnThisDay 9 July 1643 the Earl of Essex wrote to Parliament complaining his army was inadequate; as such he proposed that peace negotiations with the King should be resumed. The letter backfired, being seen as evidence of Essex's unreliability. #EnglishCivilWar #17thCentury #OTD

#OnThisDay 5 July 1643 was the Battle of Lansdown in Somerset. Parliamentary forces under Sir William Waller were narrowly defeated by the Royalist western army; the Cornish Cavalier Sir Bevil Grenville was killed in the fighting. #EnglishCivilWar #17thCentury #OTD

#OnThisDay 30 June 1644 compounding his defeat at Cropredy Bridge the previous day, Sir William Waller and his officers were almost killed when the floor of the room in which they met collapsed and they all fell into a cellar... #FailedBuildingRegulations #oops #17thCentury #OTD

#OnThisDay 30 June 1643 was the Battle of Adwalton Moor in Yorkshire, where Royalist forces under the Earl of Newcastle defeated Ferdinando, Lord Fairfax. As a result all of Yorkshire was left under Royalist control except for Hull & Bradford. #EnglishCivilWar #17thCentury #OTD

#OnThisDay 11 June 1646, John Lilburne, having been summoned before the House of Lords for criticising the Earl of Manchester, refused to accept their authority. As a result he was imprisoned in #Newgate gaol. Image of Lilburne from our collection. #BCW #17thCentury #ECW

There's no authenticated portrait of Cromwell's mother, one exasperated authority writing "any portrait of a lady... with a cloth head-dress tied under her chin is liable to be given her name”. This painting in our collection was thought to be Elizabeth but is now in doubt. 3/6

#OnThisDay 4 May 1643 Royalist forces commanded by William Cavendish, Earl of Newcastle, stormed the town of #Rotherham after a skirmish at the town's bridge, defended by local Parliamentarians including 30 boys from the town's grammar school. #EnglishCivilWar #17thCentury #OTD

#OnThisDay 14 April 1655 General Venables landed Protectorate troops west of Santo Domingo, as part of Cromwell's 'Western Design' to seize Spanish Hispaniola (Haiti). The poorly planned and conceived expedition was a disaster, denting the regime's confidence. #17thCentury #OTD

#OnThisDay 9 April 1644 Parliamentarian forces under Sir William Waller stormed Winchester. They captured the town but the Royalist garrison held out in the castle. #EnglishCivilWar #17thCentury #OTD
