In case anyone is interested the following is part of an article about the original battle of Aylesbury fought on November 1st 1642 printed in the Bucks Herald following a recent re-enactment of the battle By the Sealed Knot. The approaching army was commanded by the seasoned soldier, Lieut General Sir William Balfour, an old adversary of Prince Rupert's. Following not far behind were soldiers of John Hampden's regiment. Rupert attempted to charge his way through the troop lines but the great barrages of fire from Sir Williams musketeers enclosed him on all sides and eventually the Royalists were forced to fall back. Several dozen Parliamentarian troops fell in that furious action, till Capt Herbert Blanchard of Captain Earl Peterborough's Parliamentarian troop sprang to the aid of Balfour's soldiers. His foot soldiers sent volleys of fire and smoke on the left flank to the resounding cheers from the Parliamentarians. Eventually the Royalist foot took flight with roundhead troops in hot pursuit. Incidently the connection is that my mother in law is currently researching the Blanchards in the High Wycombe (England) area
