C. 1646 ELEGY TO ROBERT EARL OF ESSEX History ENGLISH CIVIL WAR Roundhead Army

  
[Drop-head title:] An Elegie upon the most lamented death of the Right Honourable and truly valiant, Robert Earle of Essex, &c. Very small hole to head of initial leaf.

A leading figure in the political events which gave rise to the English Civil War, even before his appointment of Captain General and taking command of the first significant action of the Parliamentary army at Edgehill, Essex's control over the Roundhead army ended on the passing of the Self-Denying Ordinance in April 1645, and he died after hunting in Windsor Forest in September 1646.
