Denbighshire experienced a local Royalist rising in 1648 connected to the wider Second Civil War in Wales. The county had been the scene of the prolonged siege of Denbigh Castle 1645-46 and retained a significant Royalist population. Armed groups reoccupied positions and confronted Parliamentary local administration before Colonel Mytton moved to suppress them. The rising was local and uncoordinated but demonstrated persistent Royalist sentiment in north Wales.
