why was the battle of naseby so important in the civil war?

Answer 1

I've read a lot about the Civil War and watched a lot of shows about the Civil War and have never heard of "naseby".

Answer 2

We're talking here about a 1645 battle in the English Civil War. The details are interesting, but the outcome was decisive for the Parliamentary side, leading to a 15 year "interregnum," basically a Rump-Parliament dictatorship, including the murder of King Charles.

Answer 3

It isn't. In fact, the history books have it all wrong due to a typo as Charles I was dictating his account of the war to his personal scribe.

The battle happened at Neasden and is re-enacted every Saturday afternoon at the local department stores. It's true that the original battle saw Charles I defeated and turned back towards his base in Oxford but, again due to a typo, this wasn't by Cromwell it was by some bloke from Camberwell (a mr Sid James if I remember correctly) and the battle was won by cunningly disguising his much smaller army as a wandering caravan of Italian chefs. They then poisoned Charles' much larger force and because there were very few toilets and their supply of soft tissue paper had been cut off, they were rendered helpless.

It was the messiest battle on record.

Answer 4

Because it effectively brought all those long miserable years of conflict to an end by securing a decisive victory for the Roundheads.
The English Civil War was in full swing. The north of England appeared lost to the royalist cause (see The Battle of Marston Moor), but Prince Rupert convinced King Charles to march from his base in Oxford to the relief of Chester and then thrust north. The royal plans were thwarted by the delaying tactics of Oliver Cromwell and his cavalry.
This allowed the New Model Army time to finish assembling. The king changed his plans several times, and split his forces to send 3000 men to the southwest. Prince Rupert sacked Leicester with an appalling fury, drawing Sir Thomas Fairfax north from his short-lived attempt to besiege Oxford.
Fairfax was joined by Cromwell and a small force of his horsemen. With some 13,000 troops Fairfax brought the king to bay at Naseby.
Prince Rupert took up a strong defensive position atop a high ridge at East Farndon, but rather than attack across rough, wet ground, Cromwell and Fairfax ordered their men to move to Naseby Ridge some 4 miles away.
Prince Rupert saw the troops marching and immediately decided to attack while his enemy was exposed. Thus the Royal army left their strong elevated position to charge a numerically superior enemy.
The Parliamentary cavalry was initially pushed back, and the infantry soon followed. The Parliamentary cause looked shaky, but Cromwell's horse wheeled to attack the royalist flank. The royal momentum was broken, and the superior numbers of the Roundheads began a total rout of their Cavalier enemies.
They chased the royalists for a good 12 miles from Naseby, and slaughtered the men they caught. They captured the entire royal commissariat, with great supplies of powder, arms, and food. More importantly, they found the king's private papers, including details of his plans to bring Irish papists and foreign mercenaries to England. Parliament immediately published these papers.
The Battle of Naseby effectively marked the end of Royal chances to win the Civil War. Although the king dragged matters out until Oxford surrendered in 1646, the royal military machine was broken irrevocably.
