Siege of Lowestoft
The Siege of Lowestoft was a brief Parliamentarian operation in March 1643 during the First English Civil War, when Oliver Cromwell suppressed a small Royalist rising that had secured the port of Lowestoft in Suffolk. In what was one of the first major actions of Cromwell's Regiment of Horse, the Eastern Association forces seized arms and took the local gentry prisoner to Cambridge.
