The rest of ours charged other divisions of theirs, but with such admirable valour, as it was to the astonishment of all the old Souldiers of the Army. Cromwels own division had a hard pull of it: for they were charged by Ruperts bravest men, both in Front and Flank: they stood at the swords point a pretty while, hacking one another: but at last (it so pleased God) he brake through them, scattering them before him like a little dust. Rupert was forced to hide in a bean field to escape capture. The arrival of Cromwell's victorious cavalry on their flank and rear was more than the Royalist infantry could stand and Rupert's army, lacking its leader, fell back in defeat.
45 THE IRONSIDE AND RELIGION During our period Protestant English soldiers found themselves sent abroad to fight foreign Catholics. It was only with the outbreak of Civil War that religion became a contentious issue. Both King and Parliament claimed to fight in the name of God and both required basic religious observance from their soldiers. The King's Articles of War directed: That the service of Almighty God be not neglected; it is ordained, That there be a Chaplain appointed for every Regiment, who shall read Prayers orderly, and duly once every day whil'st they are in Leaguer, and shall Preach, or expound some place of Scripture, or Catechisme once at least on every Sunday, and Holiday, in some such convenient place as the Colonell of the Regiment shall appoint, and by the sound of a Trumpet or Drumme notice shall be given of the time, in such manner as the whole Regiment may take notice thereof.
In terms of equipment and tactics the horse of this period differed little from the Ironside of the late Civil War. The three troops of Life Guards appeared in broadbrimmed hats and fine clothes decorated with ribbons for the coronation of Charles II, but back and breast armour with a buff coat still featured even on this ceremonial occasion. Oxford's horse retained their armour and pot helmets up until their marching to face the Dutch invaders in 1688, when for reasons unexplained they were returned to storage.
