Oops. Newark is on the Trent, some miles downstream from Nottingham and nowhere near Scotland. Charles I's surrender to the Scots didn't end the English Civil War altogether and there was a 'second' civil war - or continuation - shortly afterwards. (There was further fighting in the 'third' English civil war, which followed Charles I's execution). http://www.british-civil-wars.co.uk/timelines/civil-war-2.htm It seems that Charles I surrendered to a Scottish unit(s) besieging Newark on 5 May 1646. The Scottish soldiers took him to Newcastle-upon-Tyne: http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usfeatures/timeline/to1660.html May 14 06, 1:08 PM
