A re-examination of the decisive defeat of the Royalists at the Battle of Cheriton in March 1644, using both contemporary 17th century sources and insights gleaned from 21st century investigative technology. The battle of Cheriton, in March 1644, was a decisive yet unexpected defeat for the Hampshire detachment of King Charles's 'Oxford Army'. Despite starting the day in a strong position on high ground, by the end of it the Royalists had been decisively routed. In this book Serena Jones re-examines the battle by revisiting in detail the numerous contemporary sources such as memoirs and printed newsbooks, and for the first time using drone images to view a critical section of the battlefield from above. AUTHOR: S.F. Jones spent many years as an English Civil War re-enactor before earning a BA Honours in History as a mature student and starting her own publishing company to make primary 17th century texts available for modern researchers. She is currently transcribing and annotating the civil war newsbooks, and researching the lesser-known officers of Charles I's 'Oxford Army'. No Armour But Courage is the first of her works to be published outside her own company. 8 colour plates, 10 b/w illustrations, 5 maps
