Royalist Commanders: Sir Ralph Hopton, Sir Bevil Grenville, Sir Nicholas Slanning (commanding roughly 2,400 to 3,000 foot soldiers, 500 horse, and 8 guns) Parliamentarian Commanders: The Earl of Stamford and James Chudleigh (commanding roughly 5,400 to 5,600 men and 13 guns, though much of their cavalry was detached elsewhere) Outcome: Royalist victory Casualties: Approximately 300 Parliamentarian deaths and 1,700 captured, compared to roughly 90 Royalist deaths What Happened The Position: On 15 May 1643, the Parliamentarian army occupied the flat summit of Stamford Hill, a strong natural position utilizing an old Iron Age earthwork. The Attack: Outnumbered nearly 2:1, Royalist commander Sir Ralph Hopton chose to attack the next morning after noting the absence of most of the enemy horse. The Result: The Cornish Royalist forces advanced from multiple directions up the steep slopes. Despite fierce resistance, the Parliamentarian line collapsed as the Royalists neared the summit. Aftermath: The victory secured Cornwall for King Charles I and opened the gateway for the Royalist advance into Devonshire. You can visit the site today via the Battlefield Trust or view the memorial plaque located at the summit of Stamford Hill. W
