RichardB Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Colonel George Payne to Major General Brown. Abingdon, April 29th 1646 Hon.Sir.- The news of the king's going to London is constantly confirmed by all that come from Oxford; that he went out disguised in a montero and a hat upon it; that Sir Thomas Glemham (Govenor of Oxford) at his parting bid him "Farewell Harry", by which name it seems he goes. There went with him only the Earl of Southampton, Dr. King and Mr. Ashburnham; that presently after his going out there was a great meeting in Oxford. Sir Thomas got some blows amongst the rout, and narrowly escaped with his life two or three times; Rupert and Maurice have both disbanded; the govenor is fain to keep a strong guard about him; their hopes are, he will be entertained in the city.

RichardB Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 16th August 1646 Sir Thomas Glemham to the speaker of the House of Commons. Sir,- Upon what terms I delivered Oxford to the honourable General, Sir Thomas Fairfax, the whole house of commons knows; they having by vote approved both of the articles, and the General's proceedings therein. Yet I have, contrary to these articles, been since detained three weeks in a close prison, for redress whereof, I have ever since been a suitor to the honourable house of commons, but not yet obtained their resolution. (*) Believe me, sir, I neither want, will, nor means to statisfy my debts; yet since others, for whom I made the articles, are concerned in the performance of them, I thought myself no less fixed in honour of endeavour the observance of them, than I was to gain concession of them; for the despatch of a suitor is a part of justice, which I might speedily obtain by your favour, whatever the result may be, I shall always rest Your most humble servant Thomas Glemham August 16th 1646 (*) "Order to discharge Sir Thomas Glemham from an arrest, according to the articles of Oxford" - Whitlocke, Aug. 21st 1646. It should be obsserved, however, that Sir Thomas Glemham was not merely a state prisoner, he was also confined for debt; for when the above order was made for his discharge, the sherrifs of London petitioned the house, on the ground that they should be liable to pay the debt for which he was a prisoner; whereupon the house ordered that they and all others should be saved harmless.

RichardB Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 In April 1646 King Charles left Oxford and eventually surrendered to Parliament. The town held out, under its governor, Sir Thomas Glemham, but surrendered to Sir Thomas Fairfax in June 1646. Sir Thomas Glemham was allowed to march out of Oxford on 23rd June 1646 with his Regiment of Foot of some 3000 men, fully armed and with their colours flying. King Charles had ordered them to disband. When they reached Thame they disbanded and were allowed to return home or to leave the country. The surrender of Oxford and the dignified dispersal of Glemham's troops at Thame marked the end of what is known as the first English Civil War. http://www.thamehistory.net/timeline/tln11.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
