The Third Siege of Newark was the longest and lasted 26th November 1645 - 8th May 1646. King Charles I's army had been destroyed at the Battle of Naseby and many of his important cities and fortresses had been lost. Newark was one of the last Royalist towns capable of resisting a Roundhead army. Newark was besieged by 17,000 soldiers made up of Roundheads from the surrounding East Midlands and London, plus the Scottish Presbyterians called Covenanters. The siege lasted six months and the people of Newark suffered hunger, an extremely cold winter and and outbreaks of disease. On the 6th May 1646, King Charles I surrendered to the Scots in the nearby town of Southwell. Two days later Newark surrendered. -
