The Battle of Adwalton Moor on 30 June 1643 saw the Earl of Newcastle defeat the Parliamentary forces of Sir Thomas and Sir William Fairfax. The battle began with Parliamentary success on their right before a flanking movement by Colonel Skirton and a push by Royalist musketeers from enclosed ground decided the action. The defeat left Yorkshire largely in Royalist hands.
