Baron Hopton

Description

Born in Somerset, he fought in Germany alongside his friend William Waller. He was appointed Lieutenant-General of the West by the King, he was to achieve fame in the 1643 battles of Stratton Hill, Lansdown Hill and Roundway Down. 

He was badly wounded by an accidental explosion of an ammunition cart at Lansdown, and possibly never fully recovered. He fought against Waller again at Cheriton in 1644 and was this time badly defeated. After being made General of the Ordnance in 1645, he once again commanded the Army of the West at the very end of the war and was defeated by the superior numbers and discipline of the New Model Army at Torrington in 1646. He surrendered his army shortly afterwards. 

This pack contains one metal miniature on horseback.
