Esq. Paymaster 1 William Villiers, Viscount Grandison, who also raised a regiment of horse which was present at Edgehill. I can find no evidence that his foot regiment took part in the battle. Possibly it was partly composed of the remnants of Lindsey's regiment, which disappears with the death of its colonel. 2 At Nottingham with Charles. Said to have been ' left behind ' at Bridgnorth (True Relation). Mr. Firth's statement in Cromwell's Army (p. 16) that this regiment fought at Edgehill is erroneous. 3 In the True Relation Sir Gilbert Gerard is said to be v now lieutenant colonel to the lord viscount Molyneux his regiment '. If this is correct, no doubt the two regi- ments were amalgamated.
- Almost certainly William Salesbury, governor of Denbigh castle in 1645, who
was fined (together with his son) £781 in 1647 (Symonds's Diary, pp. 243, 280; Cal. Comm. for Compounding, 1723). 5 Spelt thus by Symonds, p. 208, but more usually Price. 6 Probably the Colonel Bunkley captured at Naseby (Peacock, p. 99).
