I need this for homework tomorrow, so you will get loads of points if you answer it

Answer 1

 14,000 strong Parliamentarian New Model Army took on the Royalist army of King Charles I comprising less than 9,000 men, in what would to be the final key battle of the war. 

During a cavalry charge on the western flank Prince Rupert's Royalist forces swept aside the Parliamentarian horsemen, chasing them from the battlefield and on to attack the baggage train. 

The main Royalist military force had been decimated; the king had lost his best officers, seasoned troops and artillery. All that now remained was for the Parliamentarian armies to wipe out the last pockets of Royalist resistance, which it did within the year.

Answer 2

Battle of Naseby, June 14,1645, battle fought between Parliamentary New Model Army Under Oliver Cromwell and Sir Thomas Fairfax and the royalists under Prince Rupert of the Palatinate.

The Battle of Edgehill was fought on October 23, 1642. The Earl of Essex had been given instructions to stop Charles advancing on London.
