At the first battle of Newbury (20 Sep.1643) he had 3 horses shot under him, and was mainly instrumental in breaking the enemy's cavalry. He is said to have been offered the Earldom of Newbury, but to have declined it until more peaceful times. In 1642, and again in 1644, Sudeley Castle was by the parliamentary forces and reduced to ruins, the owner being in London wher he had given himself up "to the pleasures of that place". His composition, as a delinquent was no less than £3,973. On May 13, 1652, in a duel on Putney Heath, he mortally wounded Col. Henry Compton, and was after a year's imprisonment, found guilty, in the "Upper Bench" of manslaughter.
