The Battle of Worcester took place on September 3, 1651, during the English Civil War. It was a decisive conflict between the forces of the Parliamentarians, led by Oliver Cromwell, and the Royalists, supporting King Charles II. The battle marked the end of the Royalist campaign in England, as Cromwell's troops defeated Charles's forces decisively. Following the battle, the Royalists faced significant losses, with many soldiers killed or captured. The defeat forced Charles II to flee the country, leading to the establishment of a republican government under Cromwell. This battle solidified the Parliamentarian control over England.
