The Charge of the 15th Light Dragoons at Emsdorf by David Rowlands. The Battle of Emsdorf was fought on 16 July 1760 during the Seven Years' War at Emsdorf in present-day Hesse, Germany. |
The Last Stand - After the Massacre of Glencoe. In 1691, King William the Third, recognising the resurgence of the Jacobite cause, ordered all the clan chiefs to sign an oath of allegiance by 1st January 1692. Maclain of Glencoe delayed signing the oath and when he arrived in Fort William he found he had to go to Inveraray. Difficult travelling and the absence of a sheriff meant that Maclain did not sign the oath until 6th January 1692. Maclain returned to Glencoe believing his signature was accepted. It was however decided to punish Maclain. Campbell of Glenlyon led a group of some 128 soldiers who stayed with the MacDonalds for some 12 days and then turned on their hosts in the early morning of 13th February, killing 38 of them whilst some tried to escape into the snowy hills. The infamy of the massacre is 'murder under trust', murder of those who had offered them hospitality. The painting shows some of the Maclain clan who escaped to the Hills. |

Polish Hussars Parading in Front of King John III Sobieski by Wojciech Kossak The Polish Winged Hussars were highly effective due to their heavy armour and powerful lances along with their distinctive shock tactics.

Outpost of the New Model Army on the Eve of the Battle of Naseby by Ernest Crofts. The New Model Army was formed in 1645 by the Parliamentarians during English Civil War, and was disbanded in 1660 after the Restoration. It differed from the other armies in the Civil war in that it was intended as an army where its soldeirs were liable for service anywhere in the country, instead of restricted to a local area or garrison. This meant that the soldiers of the new Model Army would be full time professional soldiers instead of part time militia. It was also intended that its officers were to be professional soldiers, not having seats in either the Houses of Lords or Commons. Here a Cavalry sentry is shown before the battle of Naseby, which would become a key battle of the English Civil War. On 14th June 1645, the main army of King Charles I was completely destroyed by the Parliamentarian New Model Army under the command of Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell. |
