Battle of Selby
The Battle of Selby occurred in April 1644 during the English Civil War. It was a Parliamentarian victory over the Royalists.
==Prelude==
The war had advanced to the stage where the Parliamentary forces were seeking to control far larger swathes of territory, and were defeating Royalist pockets of resistance throughout the Midlands, Wales, and into the north.
York, by now the King’s main centre in the north, would be the eventual target of the Roundhead army, but prior to taking on the forces there, other strongholds would have to be dealt with. Selby was one such place, commanding the routes to York and the vital port of Hull, and as the strong point on the River Ouse of immense strategic importance in the movement of troops and goods in the area. The region itself was the key to developments in the conflict, Royalist forces in the area making a barrier between Parliament’s and the Scots to the north.
