Sir William Robinson’s Regiment of Foot

Yorkshire regiment of foot supporting the Royalists

• March: Repulsed from Bradford
• April: Battle of Selby
• July: Battle of Marston Moor?
• July: Besieged at York

It is possible that the Regiment stayed to protect York rather than fought at Marston Moor.
