KING CHARLES: "March with all your forces to the relief of York. NARRATOR: Rupert who had just captured Liverpool, advanced across the Pennines from Lancashire and took the Allied forces by surprise, causing them to break off the siege and retreat. LEADER: "The King and the Courts!" MEN: "The King and the Courts!" LEADER: "The Church and the Lords!" MEN: "The Church and the Lords!"
