Sir Edward Morgan’s Regiment of Foot

Obscure South Welsh Royalist regiment of foot

• December: Captured at Hereford?

VJ notes: I am unsure whether this was actually a full Regiment but as the Officers under his command cite him.

A list of the regiment's officers is shown in Officers and Regiments of the Royalist Army by Stuart Reid (Partizan Press).
