A true Copy of a Letter sent by Prince Rupert to His MAJESTY. SIR, THe bearer will with all the Circumstances tell Your Majesty our Proceed at Worcester. I shall only say this, That upon Your Majesty's commands to secure the Town, we went thither with our Forces and found the Rebels on both sides of the Town, no Ammunition, nor nothing fitting to entertain so great a Force as the Lord of Essex would have brought that night. But all things in so great a disorder, that certainly we had all been lost, had we not by a great chance met with ten Troops of their Horse, and five of their Dragoners, which we did entirely rout, and killed most of their chiefest Officers. The Manner and the Names, I leave for the said bearer to tell you. Your Majesty will be pleased to accept this, as a beginning of Your Officers and my Duty; and I doubt not, as (certainly) they behaved themselves all very bravely and gallantly, that hereafter Your Majesty shall find the same behaviour against a more considerable number. Of this Your Majesty may be very confident, as also of the endeavours of SIR, Your Majesty's most Obedient Nephew, and humble Servant. RUPERT. From Bobsort this 24. of Sep. 1642. Sir, This Gentleman hath behaved himself so gallantly, That I must needs humbly desire Your Majesty to Knight him; which will encourage him and all others to continue the Affection for Your service. The Circumstances Related by Master Crane, who is Knighted. He is (I hear) Prince Ruports Cornet. THat at the first Charge, Prince Rupert, Prince Maurice, Master Fox, and two more, charged and defeated a Troop, whom they knew not to be enemies, till they were upon them, by their Orange colour Scarves. That seven Cornets are taken, some I saw. That several Officers are killed on their side, particularly, Douglas and Sandis; that the last repent before his death, for having borne Arms against the King. That several men are taken, as Captain Wingat of the House of Commons, and others. That we have but three killed in all. That but three of ours of quality have been hurt; Master Wilmott in the back, and the worst of any: but yet he Marches in a Coach and is merry. Sir Lewis Dives through the Shoulder. Master Byron (a brother of Sir john's) over the face. I hear he hath said, That Prince Maurice is a little hurt, but I understood him but those three. That Browne, who commanded in chief as Colonel of Dragoners, was one of the first that ran away. That our Men are very hearty with their Victory, and the spoils of the killed (as Horses, Arms, Buffe-coates, Money in their Pockets) and the enemy (as they hear) much dishartened, and not likely to make so great haste from about Worcester as they meant.
