PARLIAMENTARIANS

OLIVER CROMWELL

Having led the armies of parliament against Charles I and deposed the king of England, Cromwell was now arguably the most powerful man in the country. With this battle closing out the Civil War he went on to be named Lord Protector of the British Isles.

CHARLES FLEETWOOD

After fighting at Newbury and

Naseby, Fleetwood was a trusted ally of Cromwell and grew into a hugely influential figure in parliament. He was elected to the Council of State shortly before heading to Worcester, where he played a key role in victory.

JOHN LAMBERT

Lambert takes much of the credit for Parliamentarian victories in the Scottish campaign that preceded this battle. He was awarded £1,000 per annum lands in Scotland as a result. Along with Fleetwood, he went on to be massively influential in parliament.
