Brereton's journal is a book made up of letters from the English
Civil War (1642-1646). A Parliamentary general, Sir William was
engaged in the siege of Dudley Castle, Bridgnorth Castle and the
fortifield cathedral close at Lichfield. The Letter Book contains
copies of letters sent and received by Brereton. There are details
of his victory against the last Royalist army in the field, his
various sieges, his constant need for money and more troops, and
the movements of King Charles I prior to his surrender to the
Scots. The Introduction details a history of the civil war, of the
battles and skirmishes, up to the writing of the Letter Book. A
conclusion relates what happened after: the end of the war, the
trial and execution of Charles I, the Interregnum and finally the
Restoration and Brereton's retirement from public life.
