   1644: Marston Moor, One of the decisive battles in English history.
   The long dominance of the King was broken as his Northern Army under
   Newcastle was destroyed and York was taken. Parliament was
   strengthened by an alliance with the Scots which explained their
   preponderance of numbers. Parliament attacked decisively at the end of
   the day just as the Royalists had decided there was to be no action
   that afternoon. Cromwell was wounded . . . and nearly 6,000 died in
   all.
