The second and longest <entity_1>( <entity_4> – <entity_3>) took place towards the end of the <entity_0>, when Parliamentary forces under the command of Thomas Rainsborough besieged the city of <entity_5>, accepting the capitulation of the Royalist defenders on 22 July. The next day the Royalists formally surrendered possession of the city and the Parliamentarians entered <entity_5> 63 days after the <entity_6> began. <entity_5> would remain in Royalist hands until <entity_2>. It was defiantly incorporated in to the city defences for the Battle of <entity_5> of 1651, and it was probably fortified and occupied by the garrison in <entity_2> <entity_6>. After the Battle of Stow-on-the-Wold, the last pitched battle of the <entity_0>, fought on <entity_2>, the victorious Parliamentary forces set about capturing the last of the Royalist strongholds. On <entity_2> there was a skirmish in front of <entity_5>, the record of which, appears in the Kidderminster register, where the burial of a soldier is mentioned, under that date: John Jones, a Parliament soldier, slain at the skirmish at <entity_5>. On <entity_2>, Charles issued the following warrant: To our trutly and well-beloved Sir Thomas Glenham, Sir Thomas Tildesley, Colonel H. Washington, Colonel Thomas Blagge, Governors of our cities and towns of Oxford, Lichfield, <entity_5>, and Wallingford, and all the commanders of any town, castle, and fort in our Kingdom of England. On <entity_2>, the <entity_5> garrison wrote to the King asking for his special instructions. The <entity_6> of <entity_5> had been carried on for some time before anything was done about Madresfield. <entity_3> was the last day of the <entity_6>.
