When the tidings of the peril and distress to which his wife and children were exposed were brought to the Earl of Derby in the Isle of ^lan, he lost no time in setting sail for England ; and hastening to King Charles at Oxford, and throwing himself at his feet, he implored him to send a force strong enough to drive away the besiegers ; on which Kmg Charles immediately sent his nephew Prince Rupert to the assistance of Lady Derby. Colonel Rigbv did not wait till Prince Pcupert came ; but on the... 27th of I ' f3 54 THE EARL OF DERBY AND HIS FAMILY.
May, 1644, he left the siege of Latham, and retired to the town of Bolton with his men. There he was in his turn attacked by Prince Rupert and the Earl of Derby on the following day ; and after only a quarter of an hour's fierce fighting, the brave earl at the head of two hundred of his tenants and servants, who had followed their lord to the field, forced the gates, and the earl was the first man who entered the town. Rigby contrived to make his escape, but two thousand of his men were killed ; and Prince Rupert sent the standards of the rebels, which were taken at Bolton, to Lady Derby, as a token of respect, and acknowledg- ment that the victory was gained by the courage of her husband.
