A Scottish Covenanter army under the Earl of Leven besieged Hereford in the summer of 1645 — one of the most remarkable operations of the Civil War, with a Scottish army operating deep in the English heartland. The garrison under Barnabas Scudamore held out. News that a Royalist force was approaching caused the Scots to raise the siege. Hereford did not fall until Scots besieged it a second time in September 1645 and the garrison finally surrendered.
