Found by myself whilst Metal Detecting on land by Raglan Castle in South Wales. 1 x lead musket ball from the siege of the castle during 3 June - 19 August 1646. I have found upwards of 100 musket balls on this land from the siege.
During the English Civil War in1646, Raglan Castle was besieged by parliamentarian forces. The Castle was inthe ownership of Henry, Earl of Worcester who was a staunch Royalist. He garrisoned Raglan castle with as many as 800 soldiers at his own expense.<...br>By June 1646, the castle was under siege, having been first attacked by an army under the command of Colonel Morgan and Sir Trevor Williams, who were later joined by additional forces under General Thomas Fairfax. The Marques surrendered the castle after a long siege. He was arrested and sent to Windsor Castle, where he eventually died.
