Its 4000 inhabitants in 1643 were Puritans to a man, and warlike. They furnished sword-blades for Crom well's troops, and at a convenient opportunity waylaid the King's carriage and seized it, his furniture, and his plate. For these enormities Prince Rupert came later from Daventry and punished them severely in a battle on Camp Hill, overlooking the town. Many Birmingham men were slain that day, and eighty houses burnt; the whole affair piteously related in a tract of that time called The Bloody Prince; or, a Declaration of the Most Cruell Practises of Prince Rupert and the rest of the Cavaliers, in fighting against God and the true Ministers of his Church. A woodcut intended to portray that sanguinary Prince appears on the cover, with Birmingham flaming furiously in the back ground; Daventry in the rear. The rest of the Cavaliers appear to be manoeuvring somewhere else; at any rate, Rupert is alone, on horseback, with a mild expression of countenance and a big pistol.
