The appalling effects of civil war are often suffered most
horrifically by the ordinary men, women and children involuntarily
caught up in it, as it tears asunder the very fabric of their
lives. Such was the fate of the citizens of Chester, who for almost
four years found themselves at the centre of the battle between
King and Parliament. Chester's inhabitants withstood the terrors of
bombardment and the rigours of starvation, in one of the most
fiercely contested sieges of the Civil War. Using myriad
contemporary sources it is possible for the first time to present a
detailed picture of the part played in the siege by the 'common
sort', the 'forgotten voices' of Chester: ordinary citizens forced
by their employers to enlist in the City Regiment, their brutal
introduction to the realities of war and their gallant defence of
Chester.
