In episode 3, I look at the South West battle of Roundway Down. The limping royalist army, commanded by Sir Ralph Hopton, (who had just been accidentally blown up) were pursued by Sir William Waller and forced to hole up in Devizes. The outcome of Roundway Down would decide the fate of Bristol, a key town in the kingdom, as well as which side would dominate in the South West.
