	Prince Rupert of the Rhine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rupert became General of the Horse, and his reputation prospered after routing a Parliamentarian force at Powick Bridge (23 September 1642); however he overextended himself at the Battle of Edgehill (23 October 1642) and left the Royalist forces unsupported by cavalry at a critical time which cost them the victory and led almost to defeat.
		Rupert continued to impress militarily; in 1643 he captured Bristol and in 1644 led the relief of Newark, and much of the royalist army at Marston Moor.
		But the prince again quarrelled with the Royalist advisers, and spent six obscure years (1654 to 1660) in Germany, vainly attempting (as also before and afterwards) to obtain his rightful apanage as a younger son from his brother Charles I Louis, Elector Palatine.

		The prince's strategy was bold as well as skilful, as was shown both in the Royalist movements of 1644 which he proposed, and in the two far-ranging expeditions which he carried out for the relief of Newark and of York.
		But the prince again quarrelled with the council, and spent six years (1654—60) in Germany, during which period nothing is known of him, except that he vainly attempted (as also before and afterwards) to obtain the apanage to which as a younger son he was entitled from his brother the elector palatine.

		The third son of Frederick V, elector Palatine and his wife Elizabeth, the sister of Charles I, and thus a nephew of Charles I, perhaps the best known Royalist general of the Civil War.

		Rupert's plan appears to have been to provoke a Parliamentary attack, but as evening arrived, he seems to have decided that the chance for a battle that day was over, and allowed his men to break formation to eat.
