Could You Survive as a Cavalryman in the English Civil War?
Step back into the 17th century with Survive History and experience the adrenaline-fueled world of cavalry troopers during the English Civil War. In this immersive episode, we ride alongside Parliamentarian and Royalist cavalry soldiers, donning their authentic equipment and delving into their rigorous training regimen.
With help from the Worcestershire Cavalry and Marquess of Winchester’s Regiment, we use contemporary sources and a little firsthand experience to explore what life was in the saddle for Roundheads and Cavaliers. We discover why Prince Rupert’s royalists gained the upper hand in early battles like Edgehill, before being outsmarted at Marston Moor and Naseby.
From the thundering charge of horses to the clash of swords, we uncover the weapons, tactics, and challenges faced on the battlefield. Discover what made these cavalry units so effective and delve into the legendary prowess of Oliver Cromwell’s Ironsides - the elite troops of the New Model Army. Join us as we explore the dynamic role of cavalry in shaping one of England’s most tumultuous periods of history.
