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

The first Siege of Hull marked a major escalation in the conflict between King Charles I and Parliament during the build-up to the First English Civil War. Charles sought to secure the large arsenal held in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire. He first approached the town in late April 1642 and was rebuffed by the town's Parliamentarian governor, Sir John Hotham. Charles retreated to York but in July he received news that Hotham might be willing to hand over the town if the Royalists approached with force large enough for Hotham to surrender with his honour intact.

  • The first Siege of Hull marked a major escalation in the conflict between King Charles I and Parliament during the build-up to the First English Civil War. Charles sought to secure the large arsenal held in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire. He first approached the town in late April 1642 and was rebuffed by the town's Parliamentarian governor, Sir John Hotham. Charles retreated to York but in July he received news that Hotham might be willing to hand over the town if the Royalists approached with force large enough for Hotham to surrender with his honour intact. Charles marched towards the town with an army of 4,000 men. In the meantime, Hull had been reinforced by sea and Parliament had sent Sir John Meldrum to command the town's garrison, as they were concerned about Hotham's loyalty. Hotham once again rejected the King's demands to enter the town and a largely ineffective siege was established by the Royalists, commanded by the Earl of Lindsey as the King had returned to York. Meldrum led several sallies from the town and after a particularly effective one on 27 July, which destroyed a Royalist magazine to the west of the town, Lindsey lifted the siege and withdrew the King's forces to York.

  • L'assedio di Hull del 1642 fu un fatto d'arme che si svolse dal 10 al 27 agosto 1642 presso l'omonima città inglese. Esso fu parte della prima guerra civile inglese, contrapponendo Realisti e Parlamentaristi. Carlo I cercava di assicurarsi il potente arsenale di Kingston upon Hull, nell'East Riding dello Yorkshire. Si avvicinò al villaggio sul finire del mese di aprile del 1642, ma venne respinto dalle forze parlamentaristi locali guidate dal parlamentarista . Carlo si ritirò a York, ma a luglio ricevette la notizia che Hotham lo avrebbe assistito. Carlo marciò quindi verso la città con 4000 uomini. Nel frattempo, Hull era stata rinforzata via mare ed il parlamento vi aveva inviato sir quale comandante della guarnigione locale in quanto aveva iniziato a dubitare della lealtà di Hotham. Quando fu davanti al cancello della città, Hotham rifiutò al re l'ingresso ed iniziò così un assedio che i realisti affidarono al dal momento che il re aveva fatto ritorno a York. Meldrum guidò una serie di sortite dal villaggio, e dopo una di queste particolarmente significativa che il 27 luglio riuscì a distruggere il magazzino dei realisti ad ovest della cittadina, Lindsey dovette lasciare l'assedio e ritirarsi con le forze del re a York.
