Grafton Regis — a significant manor house in Northamptonshire, historically associated with the Woodville family and the secret marriage of Edward IV — was fortified as a Royalist garrison. Parliament's army stormed it, reportedly killing much of the garrison. The action was part of the Parliamentary effort to clear Royalist strongholds in Northamptonshire in preparation for the main campaigns of 1644.
