Many relate to the Siege of Colchester which occurred in the summer of 1648 (12 June - 28 August) when the Second English Civil War reignited in several areas of Britain. Colchester became embroiled in the unrest when a Royalist army on its way through East Anglia to raise support for the King, was attacked by Lord-General Thomas Fairfax at the head of a Parliamentary force. The Parliamentarians' initial attack forced the Royalist army to retreat behind the town's walls, but they were unable to bring about victory, and as a result, they settled down to a siege. The Royalists resisted the siege for eleven weeks and only surrendered following the defeat of the Royalist army in the North of England at the Battle of Preston, Lancashire (17-19 August 1648).
