Footnotes:
[1] Subsequently the scene of a fight between Waller's Puritans and the
Royalists under the Earl of Cleveland.
[2] The cottage at the foot of the hill near Radway, which tradition
pointed out as the one in which the King breakfasted, has been pulled
down.
[3] The word "cavalier"(PQ), like that of "roundhead," was used as a term
of ridicule or reproach.
[4] In an article by Dr. Rees upon Bannerets, and also in the last edition
of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, we are told that Captain John Smith,
Lieutenant of Lord Stewart's troop, was the last banneret knighted upon
the field of battle. The order was conferred only for distinction in the
field of battle, and was a very high one, ranking above all other knights,
excepting the Knights of the Garter. The two tails of the pointed pennon
carried by ordinary knights were cut off, and the flag thus made square.
Hence they were called knights of the square flag.
[5] There is much confusion about the two Cromwell's; Captain Oliver
charged with the right wing, and the son is said to have been with
Ramsay's horse.
[6] Beesley seems to have been unacquainted both with Fiennes' Letter (PB)
as well as with Cromwell's own statement, for he says (b18) "In no account
I have yet met with is Cromwell recorded as being present."
[7] vide Rev. C. F. Wyatt (the rector) in Danvers, p. 326.
