Charles's forces fought several preliminary battles and skirmishes inresisting the attempts of Cromwell's columns to get possession of thebridges and fords by which they were to cross the river. These contestsresulted always in the same way. The detachments which Charles hadsent forward to defend these points were one after another driven in, while Charles, with his council of war around him, watched from thetop of the tower of a church within the city this gradual andirresistible advance of hi...s determined enemy, with an anxiety whichgradually deepened into dismay.
The king, finding his situation now desperate, determined to make onefinal attempt to retrieve his fallen fortunes. He formed his troopsin array, and marched out to give the advancing army battle. He puthimself at the head of a troop of Highlanders, and fought in personwith the courage and recklessness of despair.
