The Pistoleer – Bristol 1643 (English Edition)

The last week of July 1643 brought disaster to the rebellion against Charles I. On the 25th they lost Bristol, England’s second richest industrial port. On the 28th they lost Gainsborough and thus all Lincolnshire was in jeopardy. London’s propaganda sheets were scrambling to find any good news in these losses, and so they made heroes out of two unknown militia officers for standing fast when vastly outnumbered by royalist cavalry.
Captain Robert Blake in Bristol and Colonel Oliver Cromwell in Gainsborough.
The military reputations of both men were made – and then so was history.
