Held by Royalists and described by Oliver Cromwell no less as 'one of the strongest inland garrisons of the kingdom' the castle was slighted and left in ruins after it was finally taken by Parliament after the third and last siege during the second Civil War of 1648. This fine account of the three sieges, out of print since its publication in 1887, fills a much needed gap in studies of the military history of the English Civil Wars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Holmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783312831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783312832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Naval \u0026amp; Military Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.07d","brand":"Richard Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795398873343,"sku":"9781783312832","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cae14785-c3e7-4a11-8279-b6f21672c3cb.jpg?v=1744947480","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sieges-of-pontefract-castle-richard-holmes-9781783312832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
