THOMAS HORTON was born about 1600 in Gumley,
Leicestershire, England. He died of Thypus Fever in October, 1649
in Ireland during Cromwell's Irish Campaign. Thomas was the
second son of William Horton and his wife Isabell of Gumley in
Leicestershire. Thomas was once thought to have been the servant or
falconer of to Sir Arthur Haselrig (Only a person who flies a
falcon at
wild quarry is entitled to call themselves a Falconer. The art of
Falconry was most popular among the upper classes of Europe) He is now
known to have been a client of Haselrig, and a minor landowner in
Leicestershire in his own right.
In 1645, Parliament decided to form a new army of professional soldiers
and amalgamated the three armies of William Waller, Earl of Essex and
Earl of manchester. This army of 22,000 men became known as the
New model Army. Its commander-in-chief was General Thomas
Fairfax, while Oliver Cromwell was put in charge of its cavalry. On the
outbreak of civil war, Thomas joined Haselrig's famous regiment of
cuirassiers, the "Lobsters", which was part of the army of Sir William
Waller thoughout 1643-44. Horton transferred to the New Model
Army in 1645 as a major in Colonel Butler's regiment. He fought
on the Parliamentarian left flank at the battle of Naseby in June 1645,
and was badly wounded in the rout that followed prince Rupert's
devastating charge.
Naseby, Northamptonshire, 14 June
1645:
The Royalist foot, deployed in two lines and supported by squadrons of
horse, was commanded by the veteran Lord Astley. Behind Astley was King
Charles with his lifeguard of horse flanked by his own and
Rupert's regiments of foot, and these in turn flanked by cavalry
detachments. On the Royalist left flank, Langdale's Northern Horse
faced Cromwell and Horton; on the Royalist right, Prince Rupert and
Prince Maurice faced Ireton.
On the Parliamentarian right flank, Cromwell led his Ironsides in a
controlled charge to meet the advancing veterans of Langdale's
Northern Horse. In a fierce struggle, the Royalists were steadily
driven back by weight of numbers. Having driven the Northern Horse from
the field, Cromwell turned his disciplined troopers and led a
devastating attack on the exposed right flank of the Royalist infantry.
This proved to be the decisive stroke of the battle. At the same
time, Colonel Okey led his dragoons in a charge on the opposite flank
while the remnants of Ireton's cavalry rallied and joined the assult.
Thomas Hortons' wound kept him out
of commission for about eight months.
Members of the New model Army received proper military
training and by
the time they went into battle they were very well-disciplined.
In the past, people became officers because they came from powerful and
wealthy families. In the New model Army men were promoted when
they showed themselves to be good soldiers. For the first time it
became possible for working-class men to become army officers.
Oliver Cromwell thought it was very important that soldiers in the New
Model Army believed strongly in what they were fighting for.
Where possible he recruited men who, like him, held strong Puritan
views and the New Model Army went into battle singing psalms, convinced
that God was on their side.

A Great Victory In Wales, The
Battle of St Fagans - 8th May 1648 - Author: Dave Webb:
Orders of the day, Volume 30, Issue 2, Mar/Apr 1998
The
following are excerpts of an
article written by Dave Webb based on letters of Colonel Thomas Horton
and John Okey to Parliament
following the battle.
On the morning of Monday 8th May 1648 in the fields around the small
village of St Fagans, approximately
1,000 men fought in the largest battle on Welsh soil. The
victory of the Parliamentarian forces over the
much larger Royalist forces was important enough at the time for public
thanks to be read in all the churches
in England and Wales.
Major General Laugharne fought for the Parliamentarian cause, but in
1647 he was considering changing sides
and joining the king with his troops. Some troops however did
obey their instructions, and although they
offered to disband may have been taken into Colonel Horton's
Parliamentarian brigade when it arrived.
Colonel Thomas Horton with horse and foot, and Colonel John Okey with
his regiment of dragoons were sent
to secure South Wales. Their forces met at Neath before heading
west. In the hills outside Carmarthen
they skirmished with the newly Royalist Welsh forces commanded by
Colonels Poyer and Powell. Due to the
the Terrain it was impossible
for the Parliament troops to force a pitched battle. At the
largest skirmish some
of the Parliamentarian forces
were surrounded in yet another church and forced to surrender.
Hearing of a possible
uprising in Brecon which would threaten his lines of communication,
Horton headed
there. He disbursed the
Brecon gentry and may have taken some hostages to ensure good
behaviour. In
his absence the Royalist
forces pushed eastwards towards Cardiff. The race was on to get
to Cardiff first.
In two days Horton's troops
marched from Brecon to Cardiff, crossing the Taff at Llandaf.
Having taken up
positions on and around the
Pentrebane ridge above the town of Cardiff, Horton prepared to wait it
out,
knowing Cromwell was on his
way with a number of horse and foot regiments.
Laugharne then threw in his
lot with the Royalists and turned up to take overall command.
Knowing
the must beat Horton's troops
before Cromwell arrived, he advanced to the land around Cotterel near
St Nicholas which belonged to
the Button family, some of whom served in the royalist army.
Early on the morning of 8th
May the Royalists tried a surprise attack on the Parliamentarian
quarters in and
around St Fagans. It seems likely that the Royalist horse were
used the day before to feint towards Cardiff,
and Horton drew his men in close to St Fagans, expecting a race to
Cardiff the following day. Laugharne
had other ideas and hoped to trap Horton's troops in the village and
enclosures of St Fagans where the
numerically superior Parliamentarian horse couldn't be deployed.
This attack almost worked, but a charge o0f 50 Parliamentarian horse
and dragoons routed the advance
guard of the Royalist army, This gave the initiative to the
Parliament troops and they started to deploy onto
the little hill beside the Pentrebane cross-roads. Seeing the
advantage he now had, Horton decided to
accept the offer of battle.
The Parliamentarian foot were deployed in two divisions, one
under Lt
Colonel Reade and the other under
Major Wade. Horton's account at this point seems to
describe the
battle line from right to left. On the right
Okey with horse under Major Bethel and mounted dragoons, supported by
some foot and dismounted
dragoons.
Almost 3000 prisoners were
taken and 4000 more were disarmed and allowed to go home. About
200
Royalist were slain, but the accounts don't mention the
Parliamentarians casualties. No Parliamentarian
officers were killed or
wounded. All the baggage was taken, as were 80 colours.
Horton reported that
the men wanted all the honour for so great a victory to be given to
God. Parliament ordered that the victory
be announced in every parish church.

For the Right
Honourable William Lenthall Esquire, Speaker of the Honourable House of
Commons,
Sir,
After many tedious, hungry, and wet Marches, over the steep and craggy
Mountains, it pleased God that we
were engaged with Enemy, who accounted themselves near Eight Thousand
Horse and Foot, upon Morning
the 8th of this Instant, betwixt St. Fagon's and Peterstowne; where,
after a sharp Dispute for near Two Hours,
it pleased the Lord mightily to appear for us, in giving the Enemy a
total Rout: The Particulars thereof I shall
within a short Time at large present you with. There are many
slain of the Enemy upon the Place, and in the
Pursuit for Seven Miles. We cannot yet hear of One of our
Officers slain, and but few of the Soldiers; but we
lost many Horses. I guess the Prisoners which are taken to be
three thousand. We have taken all their Foot
Arms and Ammunition, which is good Store. Major General Stradling
is taken, with many Officers and
Gentlemen, and many Colours. It pleased God wonderfully to
strengthen and raise up the Spirits of our
Officers and Soldiers. Our Word was, "God is our Strength;" and
truly we found Him so to be, and desire
the sole Glory may be given to Him, and ourselves looked upon as weak
Instruments in His Hand, and
amongst whom, as I am, so I desire to be accounted; who am, Sir,
Your most humble and faithful
Servant,

Confiscation of

deceased:
Colonel
Thomas Horton became a Regicide, not because he was a staunch opponent
of the King, but was merely a soldier doing his job - mixed with his
admiration of two men, and his desire to serve them. Sir Arthur
Haselrig and Oliver Cromwell. Haselrig and Cromwell were friends
even though they didn't always agree on everything. Haselrig was
regarded as one of the King's leading opponents and was among the five
members (of Parliament) whom the king attempted to arrest in
January 1642.
Haselrig supported Cromwell's criticism of the Earl of Manchester in
November 1644, however, he opposed Cromwell's elevation as Lord
protector in December 1653 and refused to pay his taxes. Haselrig
was imprisoned at the Restoration, but his life was spared through
Monck's intervention. He died a prisoner in the Tower early in
1661. Oliver Cromwell died in September 1658.
Colonel Thomas Horton left his horse, whom he had named, "Haselrig" to
Cromwell in his will. Thomas made out his will in July 1649
just three months before his death in October 1649. Did he
realize the end was near? I don't think he realized that at the
Restoration, everything would be stripped from him, or his son, if he
was deceased, because of the will. His son, Thomas,
obviously had enough money left though to flee to the Colonies because
he did not go as an indentured
servant.
The following is
about the Hortons of Rehoboth
Please be aware
that there were two Thomas Hortons in Massachusetts close to the same
time period. One was Thomas Horton,son of Thomas Horton the Regicide, who this page is about. The other is Thomas Horton of Salem, brother of Barnabas Horton. A lot of websites have mixed the two Hortons together and also the children of each Thomas. I number the male line using their birth year.
Thomas Horton,son of Thomas Horton the Regicide, is
known as 'Thomas Horton of Rehoboth' and Barnabas' brother is known as
'Thomas Horton of Springfield'
