Prince Wilhelm
What a difference a weekend makes, two Royalist Commanders have declared for the King and marched into Oxford with their forces. Namely the German mercenary Prince, Wilhelm of the Rine, Margarve of the Palatine of Baconburger with a force that some say is 8,000 strong. That same afternoon Lord Cockington and his West Country fellows arrived to join Prince Wilhelm with what is also widely reported as an additional 7,000 men.

Meanwhile there are strong rumours that another German Prince, Ruprecht of the Elbe, is near to completion of raising a third Royalist force that is heading to muster at Oxford.
