Notes
Sir William was Colonel of an infantry regiment and a captain in Prince Rupert’s Regiment of Horse in 1642. Appointed Governor of Oxford in 1642, his horse regiment was based on his troop of horse from Rupert’s regiment but perhaps wasn’t completed by the time of his death in 1643, or passed to the next governor, Sir Arthur Aston for little more is heard of them.

A list of the regiment's officers is also shown in Officers and Regiments of the Royalist Army by Stuart Reid (Partizan Press). (1) SP29.20.93 ‘Petition of Captain Simon Musgrave….in 1642 was Cornet of Horse under Lord Grandison,then a Lieutenant of Horse under Sir William Pennyman afterwards Lord Ruthvens Regiment,and lastly a Captain of Horse under Sir Phillip Musgrave both in the siege of Carlisle and then in the service of Hambletons Warr in 1648,my Lord Langdale being Commander in chief.’
It would appear that the Regiment was taken over by Patrick Lord Ruthven,according to Musgraves petition. The Officers under Ruthven include Lieutenant Colonel Hutchinson in support of this supposition.
