An Entity of Type: societal event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The siege of Colchester occurred in the summer of 1648 when the English Civil War reignited in several areas of Britain. Colchester found itself in the thick of the unrest when a Royalist army on its way through East Anglia to raise support for the King, was attacked by Lord-General Thomas Fairfax at the head of a Parliamentary force. The Parliamentarians' initial attack forced the Royalist army to retreat behind the town's walls, but they were unable to bring about victory, so they settled down to a siege. Despite the horrors of the siege, the Royalists resisted for eleven weeks and only surrendered following the defeat of the Royalist army in the North of England at the Battle of Preston (1648).

  • El asedio de Colchester ocurrió en el verano de 1648 cuando la guerra civil inglesa reavivó en varias zonas de Bretaña. Colchester se encontró en el grosor de la contienda cuando un ejército Realista que se dirigía al Anglia Oriental para apoyar al rey, fue atacado por el Lord y general Thomas Fairfax al mando de las fuerzas Parlamentarias.​ El ataque parlamentario inicial forzó a los realistas a retirarse detrás de las murallas de la ciudad, pero el ejército parlamentario no pudo conseguir la victoria, por lo que se asentaron para preparar un asedio. A pesar de los horrores del asedio, los Realistas resistieron durante once semanas y únicamente se rindieron luego de la derrota en la del ejército que poseían en el norte de Inglaterra. (es)
