第二次林肯之战

 第二次林肯之战

Paul King

大宪章》是我们的民主制度所依据的文件之一,也是美国宪法的前身,可以追溯到1215年。 大宪章》生效后不久,一些被称为男爵的英国地主宣布约翰国王不遵守《大宪章》,他们向法国王储,即后来的国王路易八世,呼吁对约翰国王进行军事援助。 路易派出骑士前往援助反叛的男爵,而英格兰当时处于内战状态,一直持续到1217年9月。

我在林肯长大,就读于西门学校,该校位于城堡围墙以北,离1217年5月20日发生的决定性的林肯战役非常近。 然而,直到最近我才知道这场著名的战役,它对防止英格兰陷入法国统治具有决定性意义。 我不知道为什么它如此安静!它在某些方面至少像像黑斯廷斯战役那样意义重大,说来说去,它是一场失败!

1216年5月,违背教皇英诺森三世的意愿,路易派出了一支全面的军队,在肯特海岸登陆。 法国军队和反叛的男爵们一起,很快就控制了半个英格兰。 1216年10月,约翰国王在纽瓦克城堡死于痢疾,9岁的亨利三世在格洛斯特加冕。 彭布罗克伯爵威廉-马歇尔担任了国王的摄政,他成功地吸引了英格兰的大多数男爵支持亨利。

威廉-马歇尔

1217年5月,马歇尔在纽瓦克,当时国王在附近的诺丁汉,他呼吁忠诚的男爵们帮助解救被叛军和法国军队围困的林肯城堡。 该城堡由一位杰出的女士Nichola de la Haye控制,约翰国王在1216年访问时任命她为林肯郡的郡长。 这在当时是最不寻常的。路易斯向尼科拉承诺,如果她愿意向他投降,就可以安全通过。 她说:"不!" 然而,林肯的大多数公民确实支持法国人对英国王位的要求。

马歇尔带着406名骑士、317名弩手和其他战斗人员,从纽瓦克向林肯西北的平原上的托克西进军,距离8英里,并派一些人靠近城市。 他不从南方接近是明智的。 要翻越林肯所建的高大山丘可能是不可能的,但是,他的部队到达林肯,突破了西城市的门。

切斯特伯爵在纽波特拱门(一个罗马建筑,一直保存到今天)也做了同样的事情。 法军被如此多的人袭击,感到措手不及,随后在靠近大教堂和城堡的狭窄街道上发生了野蛮的战斗。 法军指挥官托马斯-杜-佩什伯爵被杀。 据说他有600名骑士和超过1000名步兵叛军首领萨尔-德-昆西和罗伯特-菲茨瓦尔特被俘,他们的许多人投降了。 其他人逃到山下,忠于亨利三世的军队随后对林肯及其公民进行了严厉的报复,造成了许多破坏,甚至包括教堂。 试图逃离士兵的妇女和儿童在超载的船只上被淹死了。威瑟姆河。

13世纪对第二次林肯战役的描写

彭布罗克伯爵马歇尔在战前对他的部下说:"如果我们打败了他们,我们将为我们的余生和我们的亲属赢得永恒的荣耀。" 第二次林肯战役确实扭转了这场被称为第一次男爵战争的战局,它阻止了英格兰成为法国殖民地。
