Sir Nicholas Byron’s Regiment of Foot

English infantry regiment that was raised from Norfolk Trained Bands for the First Bishops’ War of 1639

• Raised from the Norfolk Trained Bands
• April: Shipped from Norfolk to the Firth of Forth
• Land on the island of Inchkeith
• May: Re-embark and anchor off Dunbar
• May: Continue voyage from Dunbar to Holy Island and march to Berwick

Originally part of Hamilton's seaborne invasion force. Byron’s regiment do not appear to have been in the camp at Birks, perhaps they remained in Berwick or at Holy Island.

Led regiments of foot in both Bishops' Wars and joined the Royalists in the First Civil War. He was Colonel-General of Cheshire and Shropshire in 1642, then Governor of Chester.
