Hereford During the Civil War 1642-1645

Hereford, a royal garrison heavily armed and fortified during the Middle Ages, on the front line of the English defence of its border with Wales. Our shire was one of the first to declare for the King when Charles I raised his standard at Nottingham in 1642, plunging the country into civil war. The city changed hands more than once as the struggle between King and Parliament played out. Who were the key players locally? What happened in the city and what impact did the war have?
