1645 , Battle of Rowton Heath Surrender of Leicester

Battle of Rowton Moor Plan. the English Civil War between the Parliamentarians, commanded by Sydnam Poyntz, and the Royalists under the personal command of King Charles I. Rowton Heath has been called “a major disaster” for King Charles, with casualties estimated at 600 dead and 900 injured, including 50 members of the Life Guard and Lord Stewart. Parliamentarian losses were also heavy, although unknown, and the battle did give Chester some respite. Despite this, Charles withdrew the next day with the remaining 2,400 horse, heading to Newark-on-Trent. The remaining Royalist cavalry were eventually destroyed in their entirety when Poyntz ambushed them at Sherburn-in-Elmet on 15 October 1645. Chester was left without additional support, and surrendered to the Parliamentarians on 3 February 1646.

1715 Duke of Argyle saw the danger of being thus cut off from the western counties, where Government had many zealous adherents; for he ordered up five hundred men from Glasgow to join his camp at Stirling [TG68-304].

1779 Most of Bonhomme Richard’s crew immediately transferred to other vessels, and after a day and a half of frantic repair efforts, Jones decided that the ship could not be saved, so it was allowed to sink. The day after the Battle of Flamborough Head the 50-gun British frigate HMS Serapis awakens with a new Captain, John Paul Jones who was born on the estate of Arbigland near Kirkbean in the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright on the southwest coast of Scotland.

Engraving based on the painting Action Between the Serapis and Bonhomme Richard by Richard Paton, published 1780.

Captain Jones took command of the 42-gun Bonhomme Richard which with the Alliance, were matched against the 50-gun British frigate HMS Serapis and the 20-gun hired escort Countess of Scarborough. Quickly recognizing that Jones could not win a battle of big guns, and with the wind dying, Jones made every effort to lock Richard and Serapis together (his famous quotation, “I have not yet begun to fight!” was uttered in reply to a cheerful British taunt during an odd stalemate in this phase of the battle), finally succeeding after about an hour, following which his deck guns and his Marine marksmen in the rigging began clearing the British decks. Alliance sailed past and fired a broadside, doing at least as much damage to the Richard as to the Serapis. Jones took command of Serapis for the trip to neutral (but American-sympathizing) Holland.

The “John Paul Jones flag” was entered into Dutch records to help Jones avoid charges of piracy when he captured the Serapis under an “unknown flag.”
