Sir Thomas was captured at the Battle of Edgehill and imprisoned until 1644. His brother Colonel Henry Lunsford then took over command of the regiment until his death during the Siege of Bristol in July 1643. Prince Rupert then assumed command as he had been impressed by the regiment's fighting abilities, and appointed John Russell as Lieutenant Colonel to the regiment. The regiment was part of the army taken north by Prince Rupert to Lancashire where it took part in the relief of Lathom House, the stormings of Bolton and Liverpool and then marched across the Pennines with Rupert to the relief of York. They then fought at the Battle of Marston Moor as part of the Forlorn Hope. In May 1645 they assembled at Evesham as part of the King's Army and were involved in the storming of Leicester - this is where Rupert's men are referred to as Bluecoats in accounts of the fighting. Two weeks later the Bluecoats formed part of the reserve at the Battle of Naseby where the majority of the regiment were slain. The remnants eventually ended up as part of the garrison of Bristol and were disbanded by the King after Rupert surrendered the city. Made up When war broke our in the east of Europe Rupert could not help himself but to go and get himself involved. He went about England is disguise raising his regiment by summoning men to travel to Holland where the Royal Family had fled. The regiment reformed in Amsterdamn on Christmas day 1646 and traveled from there to Denmark where he was met in Copenhagen by Queen Christina of Sweden.
