The Scottish Covenanting army, as part of its contribution to the Parliamentary alliance, besieged Hereford in 1645. The city — a major Royalist stronghold in the Welsh Marches — surrendered on 1 September 1645. Its fall opened Herefordshire to Parliamentary control and removed a key Royalist base for operations into Wales. The Scots' presence so far into the English Midlands was a measure of how completely the military situation had shifted after Naseby.
