... What?

This line is just... incomprehensible. I don't even know what the person who wrote this was getting at, so I don't want to edit it and ruin the meaning.

"The military quality of the Welsh border Royalists was well proved, that of the Gloucestershire Presbyterians not less so, and, based on Gloucester and Worcester as his father had been based on Oxford, Charles II. hoped, not unnaturally, to deal with an Independent minority more effectually than Charles I. had done with a Parliamentary majority of the people of England."

From what it looks like, it may supposed to all be one sentence, but not only does that not help understand it, but it makes it one heck of a run-on sentence. Could anyone decipher this for me? 74.47.41.250 (talk) 14:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

"The military quality of the Welsh border Royalists and the Gloucestershire Presbyterians was well proved, and Charles II. hoped, not unnaturally, to deal with an Independent minority from his base in Gloucester and Worcester more effectually than Charles I. had done with a Parliamentary majority of the people of England from his base in Oxford." 81.151.28.43 (talk) 23:44, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Sir Thomas Urquhart

Is Sir Thomas Urquhart important enough that his participation in the battle, and his misfortunes afterward, should be mentioned here, do y'all reckon? --Jim Henry (talk) 17:20, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Needs citations

For B-class, the minimum citation / referencing density is one ref per paragraph. On that basis, this currently fails B-class.  Roger Davies ^talk 06:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

John Adams on the Battle of Worcester

This is covered in some detail in the article on Fort Royal Hill. Does it need repeating here? 81.151.28.43 (talk) 23:06, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
