Later Maj. Gen. Richard Deane’s, then Colonel Edward Salmon’s, Arthur Evelyn’s and the Earl of Cleveland’s Regiment of Foot
Regiment of foot raised in Yorkshire serving in garrison at Hull, then taken in to the army in 1649 serving in Scotland and Flanders
A history of the regiment is given in The Regimental History of Cromwell's Army by Sir Charles Firth and Godfrey Davies, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1940.
Colonel John Mauleverer raised a regiment of foot in 1643 or 1644, likely seeing action at the Second Siege of Hull. The regiment probably formed part of the garrison of Hull during the rest of the First Civil War. In 1648 they took part in the siege of Pontefract, under Lambert’s command then in 1649 were added to the army establishment.
In the Third Civil War the regiment invaded Scotland under Cromwell, perhaps fighting at Dunbar, then were passed to Maj Gen Deane after Mauleverer died at Edinburgh. Deane led the regiment at Worcester, where they were part of Fleetwood’s command.
During the 1650s they served in Scotland,with Salmon replacing Deane as colonel after he was killed at sea. In 1658 a detachment was sent to the siege of Dunkirk, and may have fought at the Battle of the Dunes. They remained in garrison at Dunkirk into 1659. During 1660 Salmon was replaced by Evelyn, then the Earl of Cleveland before the regiment were disbanded in the October.
Presumably they were issued with red coats.
Mauleverer was colonel under Lord Fairfax in the Army of the Northern Association by 1644, and deputy governor of Hull. He served at the siege of Pontefract in the Second Civil War and led the regiment to Scotland, where he died in 1650.
He was previously Lt Col of Sir Hardress Waller’s Regiment of Foot and probably didn’t join the regiment in Scotland.
Briefly colonel in 1660
Thomas Wentworth, First Earl of Cleveland had served as a Royalist cavalry commander in the First Civil War.
