This was my University of York masters thesis, which was submitted in 1987 and, I’m glad to say, passed. Prince Rupert was one of my boyhood heroes, so to spend two years studying him and his cavalry during the English Civil War was a great privilege. It took me a year of research at the British Library, Bodleian Library and Public Records Office, plus another year writing it up (mainly after work and at weekends), but the end result was well worth it. Three copies were produced, one of which resides in the University of York Library. Twenty years later it was published by Partizan Press, who hopefully have sold more than three copies!
