Marston Moor

Marston Moor, only a few miles west of York and east of Crook Marsham. (PROSE: Nightshade, The Roundheads) It was presumably located in Yorkshire. (GAME: The Gunpowder Plot [+]Loading...["The Gunpowder Plot (video game)"], PROSE: The Plotters [+]Loading...["The Plotters (novel)"], Nightshade [+]Loading...["Nightshade (novel)"])

In 1644, Marston Moor was the site of a major battle in the English Civil War between the forces of Oliver Cromwell and the army of Rupert. (PROSE: Nightshade, The Roundheads) During this battle, Arthur Kemp was killed by a Roundhead musket ball. (PROSE: The Roundheads)

Behind the scenes

Since in December 1648, Frances Kemp told Polly Wright that her brother Arthur had been dead for four years, (PROSE: The Roundheads) it can be inferred that the battle took place in 1644.
