The Earl of Newcastle's Royalist army of some 10,000 men crushed the Yorkshire Parliamentarians under Lord Fairfax on the moors near Bradford. A bold Royalist push with pikemen broke through the Parliamentary line after an initial Parliamentary advance had been repulsed. The defeat left all of Yorkshire except Hull in Royalist hands.
