Name

Draper's House of Stanley: Defeat of Charles and Capture of James, Earl of Derby

Description

A detailed historical narrative from Draper's 1864 work on the House of Stanley, covering the Earl of Derby's military campaign in support of Charles II in 1651, particularly the Battle of Wigan Lane (25 August 1651) and the Earl's subsequent capture. Highly relevant to understanding Derby's role in the Revestment period and his political/military standing, which shaped his later position during the 1765 negotiations.
