Battle of Chalgrove Field
The Battle of Chalgrove was a small battle during the English Civil War in the county of Oxfordshire. It took place around 09:00 hours on the morning of 18 June 1643 in Chalgrove Field, northeast of Chalgrove in Oxfordshire. It was a minor Royalist victory and is notable for the mortal wounding of Parliamentarian colonel, John Hampden, who died six days later of his wounds.
==Prelude==
Acting on information from Colonel John Hurry, who had recently defected from the Parliamentarians, Prince Rupert took 2,000 men on the night of 17 June on a raid to harass the Earl of Essex's army and attempt to capture his payroll of £21,000.〔(English Heritage Battlefield Report: Chalgrove 1643 ), English Heritage, 1995〕 On the morning of 18 June, Rupert's force surprised and destroyed Parliamentarian garrisons at Postcombe and Chinnor. The pay convoy evaded Rupert, and Parliamentarian troops led by Major John Gunter pursued Rupert back towards Oxford. Colonel John Hampden, the senior officer, put himself in Captain Crosse's company and fought as a trooper. At Chalgrove, about southeast of the city, Rupert ordered his infantry ahead while his cavalry set an ambush.
