April 27 – June 24, 1646
Oxford, the Royalist wartime capital where the King had held court since 1642, was besieged by Fairfax's New Model Army after most Royalist field armies had been defeated or dispersed. Charles himself had already slipped away in disguise in April and surrendered to the Scottish army at Newark. The Oxford garrison, with no hope of relief, negotiated honourable surrender terms and marched out with full military honours on June 24, 1646.
