In a bold march, Prince Rupertoutmanoeuvred his enemies and relieved York without a shot being fired.However, when Rupert met the allied army in battle on Marston Moor on 2July, his cavalry was defeated by Cromwell's Ironsides who then turnedon the Royalist infantry. The result was a hard-fought but catastrophicdefeat; the Royalist army was crushed and their forces driven from thenorth of England.
