The Battle of Tadcaster took place during the First English Civil War on 7 December 1642, when a Royalist force attacked the Parliamentarian garrison of Tadcaster, Yorkshire, which was held by between 900 and 1,500 soldiers under the command of Ferdinando Fairfax, Lord Fairfax. Newcastle marched out of York on 6 December, and split his force of 6,000 into two; he took 4,000 infantry down the main York–Tadcaster road to attack the town from the east, while sending a deputy, the Earl of Newport, with a further 1,500 to circle around and trap the Parliamentarians by attacking from the north-west.

  • The Battle of Tadcaster took place during the First English Civil War on 7 December 1642, when a Royalist force attacked the Parliamentarian garrison of Tadcaster, Yorkshire, which was held by between 900 and 1,500 soldiers under the command of Ferdinando Fairfax, Lord Fairfax. Newcastle marched out of York on 6 December, and split his force of 6,000 into two; he took 4,000 infantry down the main York–Tadcaster road to attack the town from the east, while sending a deputy, the Earl of Newport, with a further 1,500 to circle around and trap the Parliamentarians by attacking from the north-west. Newcastle's infantry engaged the town on the morning of 7 December, but after some initial minor incursions, the battle settled into an exchange of musket fire. Newport's detachment never joined the battle. Fairfax was nevertheless forced to retreat overnight, as he was running short of gunpowder, and Newcastle occupied the town the following day. He subsequently garrisoned a number of nearby towns, and cut Fairfax off from the West Riding of Yorkshire. (en)
  • La battaglia di Tadcaster fu uno scontro che si svolse il 7 dicembre 1642 presso Tadcaster, nello Yorkshire, in Inghilterra. Essa fu parte della prima guerra civile inglese, contrapponendo Realisti e Parlamentaristi. Le forze realiste attaccarono la guarnigione di Tadcaster, nello Yorkshire, che si trovava con 900-1500 uomini al comando di Ferdinando Fairfax, lord Fairfax. Il conte di Newcastle marciò da York il 6 dicembre, dividendo i 6000 uomini al suo comando in due parti: 4000 fanti li portò in direzione di Tadcaster per attaccare il villaggio da est, mentre il suo vice, il , con altri 1500 uomini, accerchio in trappola i parlamentaristi attaccando da nordovest. La fanteria del conte di Newcastle attaccò il villaggio la mattina del 7 dicembre, ma dopo alcune incursioni iniziali di minore entità, la battaglia si limitò ad uno scambio a colpi di moschetto. Il distaccamento del conte di Newport non prese nemmeno parte allo scontro. Lord Fairfax venne comunque costretto alla ritirata prima di sera, in quanto era rimasto a corto di polvere da sparo, ed il conte di Newcastle poté occupare il villaggio il giorno seguente. (it)
