The Earl of Northampton's Regiment of Foote
The original Earl of Northampton's Regiment was really two: a regiment of horse, and a regiment of foot. The horse regiment was raised in Warwickshire and Oxfordshire in the summer of 1642 by the then Earl Spencer Compton. He had been a lifelong friend of the Royal Family and was a veteran of the Thirty Years War in Europe, fighting at Vlotho and Breda. He commanded the horse regiment with distinction as part of the Oxford field army, until his death in action at Hopton Heath near Stafford on 19th March 1643. After his horse fell among rabbit warrens he was stranded amongst Parliamentarian soldiers. He laid into them with his pole-axe, killing several of them before his helmet was struck from his head by a musket butt. Offered "quarter" by them, he is quoted as saying "I scorn to take quarter from such base rogues and rebells as yourselves!" At that point his head was cleaved by a halberd.
The Earl's body was stripped naked and was then held ransom by the Parliament commander Sir John Gell, himself wounded by the Earl before his death. Gell demanded the return of several guns captured in the battle, however Spencer's successor, the 20-year-old James Compton, refused to accede to the demands. Four of Spencer's sons fought in the Oxford field army. They were James, Charles, William and Spencer. The horse are known to have fought in a number of the major battles of the Civil Wars including Hopton Heath, Newbury, Cropredy Bridge, and Naseby.
The foot regiment was raised by, among others, Spencer Compton's 18-year-old son William. He became a commander in the Banbury Garrison after Banbury Castle, in Oxfordshire, was captured by forces of the King following the battle of Edgehill, on 27th October 1642. Once the Earl's forces were established in Banbury, William and other senior field officers set about raising a foot unit for the Earl of Northampton. Banbury also became home to two troops of horse and a number of dragoons. During 1644 Banbury Castle was placed under siege by Parliamentary forces for three months, from 19th July of that year. The Earl of Northampton's Regiment of Foote held out magnificently under the command of William Compton until 25th October, when the siege was lifted by forces commanded by the Earl James Compton, after they had travelled up from the battle of Newbury. Shortly after, William was knighted for his gallant defence of the castle.
The regiment finally gave up Banbury on 9th May 1646, after a second siege was again defended successfully by Sir William Compton. The foot regiment also fought in battles at Leicester and Middleton Cheney. Sir William Compton was to earn the nickname of "that Godly Cavalier" by Oliver Cromwell after the siege of Colchester in 1648, and was one of the founder members of the original Sealed Knot, a covert organisation founded in 1652 with the aim of restoring the Stuart Monarchy.
