After the Royalist victory at the First Battle of Middlewich earlier in 1643, Parliament returned and won a second engagement at the same town. Cheshire was one of the most bitterly contested counties in England — Sir William Brereton's Parliamentary forces and the Royalist garrison at Chester fought an almost continuous campaign across the county. Middlewich changed hands as a result of these repeated engagements, typical of the attritional nature of provincial Civil War warfare.
