| + | Pollard had commanded the trained band since at least 1630, but seems to have quickly lost control to the Parliamentarians, indeed he may have been dead by 1642. In August 1642 Royalist Arthur Bassett was commissioned Colonel of the regiment formerly Sir Samuel Rolle's which was ordered to disband and disarm. Plainly this was ignored. | ||

| + | (Luttrell's accounts clearly state that he became colonel of //"ye sd regmt"// i.e. that in which he had been captain and major. However in a letter he wrote after the retaking of Barnstaple he say he was commissioned to raise a volunteer regiment and that Colonel Rolle was calling in his old trayned regiment ((R. Cotton: //Barnstaple and the northern part of Devonshire during the great civil war, 1642-1646// (1889) pp 277-8)) It is possible that Rolle was too old for active command, he was in his mid-fifties and would die in 1647, and that Luttrell took over his command having failed to raise enough men himself.) | ||
