For a time in 1642 York was Charles I's 'second capital’, He arrived on 19 March and spent five months based either there or at Beverley, whence he directed operations against the port of Hull. The establishment of a mint at York had been planned long before the outbreak of formal hostilities. Nicholas Briot, the king's engraver, was summoned to the city at the start of May. Written evidence confirms that a mint was established by July 1642 and was almost certainly located in St William's College in Minster Yard. Coins were being produced by the following January and production probably ceased by the end of March 1644. The city surrendered to the Parliamentarians on 15 July

The city was never assaulted, the siege being rather in the nature of a blockade, and the surrender was brought about in part by the scarcity of food, and in part by the hopelessness of relief. For after the defeat of the King's forces at Naseby on 14 June 1645, the garrison, realising that further resistance was vain, opened negotiations for the surrender of the city, and the defenders, who numbered some seven hundred, were permitted to march out with all the honours of war on 25 June
