On this date in 1650, Cromwell and the New Model Army secured a decisive victory against a Scottish royalist army at Dunbar. Exactly a year later, he defeated Charles II's army at Worcester. Ironically, the date of his death in 1658 was also September 3rd.

This year's Cromwell Association Study Day will take place on Saturday, 18th October, in London. It will focus on the cultural life of Cromwell's Protectoral Court and how Cromwell has been represented in contemporary culture, from paintings to fiction. www.olivercromwell.org/wordpress/st...
