Siege of Oxford

The Siege of Oxford took place during the English Civil War from March 1646 to June 1646. It involved Parliamentary forces besieging the city of Oxford, which was a stronghold for the royalist forces loyal to King Charles I. The siege aimed to cut off supplies and force the surrender of the king's supporters. After several months of hardship and dwindling resources for the royalists, the city finally fell to the Parliamentarians, marking a significant shift in the war. This event highlighted the declining power of the king and contributed to the eventual defeat of royalist forces in the conflict.
