Sir Thomas Myddelton — the Parliamentary commander for north Wales — conducted active operations in the Severn valley around Welshpool and Montgomery. Montgomeryshire was a key contested zone between the Parliamentary base at Montgomery and the Royalist heartlands further north. The battle of Montgomery in September 1644 was the decisive engagement; these skirmishes around Welshpool were part of the campaign that led to it.
