Informations supplémentaires

During push of pike, opposing blocks of pikemen would advance with their pikes "charged" horizontally at shoulder level to jab at one another until bodily contact was made. The two sides would then push physically until one or other of them gave way. The push of pike would continue until one of the opposing formations routed or fled, which would generally lead to massive casualties. Basing House, home of John Paulet, the fifth Marquess of Winchester, was known as Loyalty House for the fierce commitment of the Marquess to the Royalist cause in the English Civil War. As the House guarded the main road from London to the west country (now the A30) it was strategically important during the war. This led to it being besieged on three separate occasions, culminating in its fall at the hands of Oliver Cromwell and its subsequent destruction.
