Battle of Naseby

The Battle of Naseby, fought on June 14, 1645, during the English Civil War, was a decisive conflict between the Parliamentarians, led by Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell, and the Royalists, supporting King Charles I. The Parliamentarians' disciplined forces outmaneuvered and defeated the Royalists, resulting in a significant loss for Charles I. This battle marked a turning point in the war, as it effectively weakened the Royalist cause and shifted momentum in favor of Parliament. It is often seen as a critical moment that contributed to the eventual establishment of a parliamentary system in England.
