EDWARD HARLEY to SIR ROBERT HARLEY, at Westminster.
1643, July 15, Bristol- "Thursday last I receaved yours of the 6th by Robert Rudhall, which brought mee the most wellcome newes, the assurance of your health, which I have not receaved in many dayes before. I beseech you give these leave to bring you an account of what has passed between the Cornish army and ours. Monday, the 3rd of July, wee heard the enemy began to advance from Froome in Somerset towards Bath, upon which, wee drew up all our horse and foote upon Clirkton Downe, fronting towards the enemy, and Collonell Burghill with his regiment of horse and some comanded foote advanced something neerer the enemy to make good a passe which led to Bath, and this proved one of our greatest disadvantages, for we were not able to send seconds in time, so that party was forced to quitt the place to the enemy and our army to retreate to Bath. The next morning wee marched to a hill called Lansdowne towards Glostershyre, where we continued all that day in bataglia, the enemy being in the same posture upon a hill over against us. In the afternoone we saluted the[m] with three peeces of canon, which they liked so ill they presently began to remove and wheeling something to the left, marched to a towne called Marshfeild allmost behind us. We fell upon theyr reare guard and beate them. Wenedsday morning, the enemy drew out towards us and presently began to retreate, which, Sir William perceaving, he sent out a party of horse with musketiers to fall upon them, which they did with very good success, but other partyes of our horse being engaged in places of disadvantage were forced to retire to the hill wee possessed. The enemy pursued hotly and got that ground where our ordinance was planted, but then our whole body of horse charged then with as much resolution as could be, and in particular Sir Arthur Heselrig [aged 42] and his regiment receaved then a push in the thigh with a pike. Our regiment charged twice, and in the second charge my bay horse was killed under mee, but I thanke God brought mee of well in this hot service. The enemy lost many of theyr bravest men, and the next morning it pleazed God that most of theyr[-] was blowne up, by which Sir Ralph Hopton and some others of quality were very sorely wounded. Friday, the 7th, the enemy began to march from Marshfeild towards Chipnam. Wee presently followed them, and upon Saterday in the afternoone we came in veiw of that towne, but were not able to make any attempt upon it. On Sunday they drew out of the towne towards us, and after two houres pause, marched way through the towne towards the Devises. We pursued them and quickly fell upon theyr reare, which held us very good play till they had recovered the Devises, and the duske night hindred any further action. That evening I was sent with my owne and two other troopes to make good a high hill upon our left hand; upon which ground on Munday the 10th wee drew up all our army. The enemy did the like with theyr horse, upon the east side of the towne. Sir William Waller comanded our horse to fall upon them, which they would not stay for, but presently retreated into the Devises. Our musketiers began then to play hard upon the towne, but that night upon intelligence that the Earle of Craford was coming with supplies of amunition, two regiments of horse were comanded to intercept it in the night. A panick feare fell amongst us, and we gave fire upon one another, being in a miserable rout and confusion. With much adoe we rallyed most of our men, and advanced to a hill in our way, and there drew up in order for fight; which was no sooner done, but we discerned a great body of the enemyes in the same bottome where we were disordered. Wee resolved to charge them, Serjeant Major Jowett, who is a very gallant man, tooke my troope and another, and with them alone charged the enemy whom wee presently routed and pursued a great way, none of the other troopes coming in to second us, and brought away all their amunition. Tuesday and Wenedsday, our men playde hard upon the Devises, and upon Thursday last ' twas resolved to storme it, by which way by God's blessing there is no doubt but wee had taken it, but our good God, who knowes what is best for us, hath disappoynted that, for that morning the newes was brought that suplyes were come from Oxford. Presently, Sir William Waller drew up all his horse and foote to that hill which I mentioned was good by me. As soore as ever we came, there wer a very great body of the enemy, which wee found afterward to be betweene forty and fifty colors of horse besides dragoones, but at the very first charge all our horse run away and left our foote, who behaved themselves very bravely as long as they were able to defend themselves, and then shifted for themselves. We have not lost many men, considering what a miserable rout we were in. All our canon, bagage, and amunition are lost and very many armes. We must needs looke upon this as the hand of our God, mightily agaynst us for ' twas hee only that made us flye. We had very much self confidence, and I trust the Lord has only brought this upon us to make us looke more to him, who I am confident when we are weakest will shew himself a glorious God over the enemyes of his Truth. So this time nothing hath beene gayned by us, with multitudes, and I beseche the Lord give us fayth to live by that, and then I doubt not but our broken bones shall prevayle over the enemyes mighty strength."
Postcript. "Sir, I lost ten horses, and two men in the fight last weeke and this last time I have lost five or six more so that my troope is now very weake.
Sir Arthur Heselrig is hurt in three places, but not mortall. My brother Robert humbly begs your blessing. I thanke God we are both well, having the mercyes of our God very great to us in preserving us safe. I beseech you pardon this scribbling for I have not beene in a bed these twelve nights before." Signet.
In 1644 Thomas Haselrigge 3rd Baronet [aged 19] and Elizabeth Fenwick [aged 19] were married. They had one son and three daughters.
On 28th January 1650 [his wife] Dorothy Greville Lady Haselrigge died.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 13th January 1660. Friday. Coming in the morning to my office, I met with Mr. Fage and took him to the Swan [Map]. He told me how high Haselrigge [aged 59], and Morly [aged 43], the last night began at my Lord Mayor's [aged 27] to exclaim against the City of London, saying that they had forfeited their charter. And how the Chamberlain of the City did take them down, letting them know how much they were formerly beholding to the City, &c. He also told me that Monk's [aged 51] letter that came to them by the sword-bearer was a cunning piece, and that which they did not much trust to; but they were resolved to make no more applications to the Parliament, nor to pay any money, unless the secluded members be brought in, or a free Parliament chosen. Thence to my office, where nothing to do. So to Will's with Mr. Pinkney, who invited me to their feast at his Hall the next Monday. Thence I went home and took my wife and dined at Mr. Wades, and after that we went and visited Catan. From thence home again, and my wife was very unwilling to let me go forth, but with some discontent would go out if I did, and I going forth towards Whitehall, I saw she followed me, and so I staid and took her round through Whitehall, and so carried her home angry. Thence I went to Mrs. Jem, and found her up and merry, and that it did not prove the smallpox, but only the swine-pox; so I played a game or two at cards with her. And so to Mr. Vines, where he and I and Mr. Hudson played half-a-dozen things, there being there Dick's wife and her sister. After that I went home and found my wife gone abroad to Mr. Hunt's, and came in a little after me. So to bed.
The History of William Marshal was commissioned by his son shortly after William’s death in 1219 to celebrate the Marshal’s remarkable life; it is an authentic, contemporary voice. The manuscript was discovered in 1861 by French historian Paul Meyer. Meyer published the manuscript in its original Anglo-French in 1891 in two books. This book is a line by line translation of the first of Meyer’s books; lines 1-10152. Book 1 of the History begins in 1139 and ends in 1194. It describes the events of the Anarchy, the role of William’s father John, John’s marriages, William’s childhood, his role as a hostage at the siege of Newbury, his injury and imprisonment in Poitou where he met Eleanor of Aquitaine and his life as a knight errant. It continues with the accusation against him of an improper relationship with Margaret, wife of Henry the Young King, his exile, and return, the death of Henry the Young King, the rebellion of Richard, the future King Richard I, war with France, the death of King Henry II, and the capture of King Richard, and the rebellion of John, the future King John. It ends with the release of King Richard and the death of John Marshal.

Samuel Pepys' Diary. 19th January 1660. Thursday. This morning I was sent for to Mr Downing [aged 35], and at his bed side he told me, that he had a kindness for me, and that he thought that he had done me one; and that was, that he had got me to be one of the Clerks of the Council; at which I was a little stumbled, and could not tell what to do, whether to thank him or no; but by and by I did; but not very heartily, for I feared that his doing of it was but only to ease himself of the salary which he gives me. After that Mr. Sheply staying below all this time for me we went thence and met Mr. Pierce, so at the Harp and Ball drank our morning draft and so to Whitehall where I met with Sir Ant. Cooper [aged 38] and did give him some answer from my Lord and he did give us leave to keep the lodgings still. And so we did determine thereupon that Mr. Sheply might now go into the country and would do so to-morrow. Back I went by Mr Downing's order and staid there till twelve o'clock in expectation of one to come to read some writings, but he came not, so I staid all alone reading the answer of the Dutch Ambassador to our State, in answer to the reasons of my Lord's [aged 34] coming home, which he gave for his coming, and did labour herein to contradict my Lord's arguments for his coming home. Thence to my office and so with Mr. Sheply and Moore, to dine upon a turkey with Mrs. Jem, and after that Mr. Moore and I went to the French Ordinary, where Mr Downing this day feasted Sir Arth. Haselrigge [aged 59], and a great many more of the Parliament, and did stay to put him in mind of me. Here he gave me a note to go and invite some other members to dinner tomorrow. So I went to White Hall, and did stay at Marsh's, with Simons, Luellin, and all the rest of the Clerks of the Council, who I hear are all turned out, only the two Leighs, and they do all tell me that my name was mentioned the last night, but that nothing was done in it. Hence I went and did leave some of my notes at the lodgings of the members and so home. To bed.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 11th February 1660. Saturday. This morning I lay long abed, and then to my office, where I read all the morning my Spanish book of Rome. At noon I walked in the Hall, where I heard the news of a letter from Monk [aged 51], who was now gone into the City again, and did resolve to stand for the sudden filling up of the House, and it was very strange how the countenance of men in the Hall was all changed with joy in half an hour's time. So I went up to the lobby, where I saw the Speaker [aged 68] reading of the letter; and after it was read, Sir A. Haselrigge [aged 59] came out very angry, and Billing [aged 37] standing at the door, took him by the arm, and cried, "Thou man, will thy beast carry thee no longer? thou must fall!" The House presently after rose, and appointed to meet again at three o'clock. I went then down into the Hall, where I met with Mr. Chetwind, who had not dined no more than myself, and so we went toward London, in our way calling at two or three shops, but could have no dinner. At last, within Temple Bar, we found a pullet ready roasted, and there we dined. After that he went to his office in Chancery Lane [Map], calling at the Rolls, where I saw the lawyers pleading. Then to his office, where I sat in his study singing, while he was with his man (Mr. Powell's son) looking after his business.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 12th February 1660. Sunday. In the morning, it being Lord's day, Mr. Pierce came to me to enquire how things go. We drank our morning draft together and thence to White Hall, where Dr. Hones preached; but I staid not to hear, but walking in the court, I heard that Sir Arth. Haselrigge [aged 59] was newly gone into the City to Monk [aged 51], and that Monk's wife [aged 40] removed from White Hall last night. Home again, where at noon came according to my invitation my cos. Thos. Pepys [aged 49] and his partner and dined with me, but before dinner we went and took a walk round the park, it being a most pleasant day as ever I saw. After dinner we three went into London together, where I heard that Monk had been at Paul's in the morning, and the people had shouted much at his coming out of the church.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 19th February 1660. Sunday. Lord's day. Early in the morning I set my books that I brought home yesterday up in order in my study. Thence forth to Mr. Harper's to drink a draft of purle, [Note. Purl is hot beer flavoured with wormwood or other aromatic herbs. The name is also given to hot beer flavoured with gin, sugar, and ginger.] whither by appointment Monsieur L'Impertinent, who did intend too upon my desire to go along with me to St. Bartholomew's, to hear one Mr. Sparks, but it raining very hard we went to Mr. Gunning's [aged 46] and heard an excellent sermon, and speaking of the character that the Scripture gives of Ann the mother of the blessed Virgin, he did there speak largely in commendation of widowhood, and not as we do to marry two or three wives or husbands, one after another. Here I met with Mr. Moore, and went home with him to dinner, where he told me the discourse that happened between the secluded members and the members of the House, before Monk [aged 51] last Friday. How the secluded said, that they did not intend by coming in to express revenge upon these men, but only to meet and dissolve themselves, and only to issue writs for a free Parliament. He told me how Haselrigge [aged 59] was afraid to have the candle carried before him, for fear that the people seeing him, would do him hurt; and that he is afraid to appear in the City. That there is great likelihood that the secluded members will come in, and so Mr. Crew [aged 62] and my Lord are likely to be great men, at which I was very glad. After diner there was many secluded members come in to Mr. Crew, which, it being the Lord's day, did make Mr. Moore believe that there was something extraordinary in the business.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 2nd March 1660. This morning I went early to my Lord at Mr. Crew's [aged 62], where I spoke to him. Here were a great many come to see him, as Secretary Thurlow [aged 43] who is now by this Parliament chosen again Secretary of State. There were also General Monk's [aged 51] trumpeters to give my Lord a sound of their trumpets this morning. Thence I went to my office, and wrote a letter to Mr Downing [aged 35] about the business of his house. Then going home, I met with Mr. Eglin, Chetwind, and Thomas, who took me to the Leg in King's street, where we had two brave dishes of meat, one of fish, a carp and some other fishes, as well done as ever I ate any. After that to the Swan [Map] tavern, where we drank a quart or two of wine, and so parted. So I to Mrs. Jem and took Mr. Moore with me (who I met in the street), and there I met W. Howe and Sheply. After that to Westminster Hall [Map], where I saw Sir G. Booth [aged 37] at liberty. This day I hear the City militia is put into good posture, and it is thought that Monk will not be able to do any great matter against them now, if he have a mind. I understand that my Lord Lambert [aged 40] did yesterday send a letter to the Council, and that to-night he is to come and appear to the Council in person. Sir Arthur Haselrigge [aged 59] do not yet appear in the House. Great is the talk of a single person, and that it would now be Charles [aged 29], George, or Richard [aged 33]-For the last of which, my Lord St. John [aged 61] is said to speak high. Great also is the dispute now in the House, in whose name the writs shall run for the next Parliament; and it is said that Mr. Prin [aged 60], in open House, said, "In King Charles's". From Westminster Hall [Map] home. Spent the evening in my study, and so after some talk with my wife, then to bed.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 7th March 1660. I spoke too with Mr. Pierce the surgeon, who gave me great encouragement to go to sea with my Lord. Thence going homewards, my Lord overtook me in his coach, and called me in, and so I went with him to St. James's, and G. Montagu [aged 37] being gone to White Hall, we walked over the Park thither, all the way he discoursing of the times, and of the change of things since the last year, and wondering how he could bear with so great disappointment as he did. He did give me the best advice that he could what was best for me, whether to stay or go with him, and offered all the ways that could be, how he might do me good, with the greatest liberty and love that could be. I left him at Whitehall, and myself went to Westminster to my office, whither nothing to do, but I did discourse with Mr. Falconbridge about Le Squire's place, and had his consent to get it if I could. I afterwards in the Hall met with W. Simons, who put me in the best way how to get it done. Thence by appointment to the Angel in King Street, where Chetwind, Mr. Thomas and Doling were at oysters, and beginning Lent this day with a fish dinner. After dinner Mr. Thomas and I by water to London, where I went to Herring's and received the £50 of my Lord's upon Frank's bill from Worcester. I gave in the bill and set my hand to his bill. Thence I went to the Pope's Head Alley and called on Adam Chard, and bought a catcall there, it cost me two groats. Thence went and gave him a cup of ale. After that to the Sun behind the Exchange, where meeting my uncle Wight by the way, took him with me thither, and after drinking a health or two round at the Cock (Mr. Thomas being gone thither), we parted, he and I homewards, parted at Fleet Street [Map], where I found my father newly come home from Brampton very well. He left my uncle with his leg very dangerous, and do believe he cannot continue in that condition long. He tells me that my uncle did acquaint him very largely what he did intend to do with his estate, to make me his heir and give my brother Tom [aged 26] something, and that my father and mother should have likewise something, to raise portions for John and Pall. I pray God he may be as good as his word. Here I staid and supped and so home, there being Joyce Norton there and Ch. Glascock. Going home I called at Wotton's and took home a piece of cheese. At home Mr. Sheply sat with me a little while, and so we all to bed. This news and my Lord's great kindness makes me very cheerful within. I pray God make me thankful. This day, according to order, Sir Arthur [aged 59] appeared at the House; what was done I know not, but there was all the Rumpers almost come to the House to-day. My Lord did seem to wonder much why Lambert [aged 40] was so willing to be put into the Tower, and thinks he has some design in it; but I think that he is so poor that he cannot use his liberty for debts, if he were at liberty; and so it is as good and better for him to be there, than any where else.
On 7th January 1661 Arthur Haselrigge 2nd Baronet [aged 60] died at the Tower of London [Map]. His son Thomas [aged 36] succeeded 3rd Baronet Haselrigge of Noseley Hall in Leicestershire.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 1st May 1661. Up early, and bated at Petersfield, Hampshire, in the room which the King lay in lately at his being there. Here very merry, and played us and our wives at bowls. Then we set forth again, and so to Portsmouth, seeming to me to be a very pleasant and strong place; and we lay at the Red Lyon, where Haselrigge and Scott and Walton did hold their councill, when they were here, against Lambert and the Committee of Safety. Several officers of the Yard came to see us to-night, and merry we were, but troubled to have no better lodgings.
