Notes
A North Riding of Yorkshire Trained Band, they marched to support the King at York in 1642, led by Edward Duncombe who was swiftly knighted. Strickland followed on, while Duncombe raised a volunteer regiment, Sir Edward Duncombe’s Regiment of Dragoons prior to Edgehill. The remnants of the regiment might have been combined into Lord Belasyse’s (Northern) Regiment of Foot after Selby, and stayed in York rather than fighting at Marston Moor?
