During the [[English Civil War]], which started in 1642, Yorkshire had divided loyalties; [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]] (full name [[Kingston upon Hull]]) famously shut the gates of the city on the king when he came to enter a few months before fighting began, while the [[North Riding of Yorkshire]] in particular was strongly [[Cavalier|royalist]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/humber/content/articles/2005/07/20/coast05walks_stage8.shtml|publisher=[[BBC]]|title=Seeds of the English Civil War|access-date=25 November 2007|archive-date=25 July 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100725101042/http://www.bbc.co.uk/humber/content/articles/2005/07/20/coast05walks_stage8.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| title = Historic Cleveland – Timeline| url = http://www.historic-cleveland.co.uk/timeline/timelineIndex.php| publisher = Historic-Cleveland.co.uk| access-date = 25 November 2007| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071130064734/http://historic-cleveland.co.uk/timeline/timelineIndex.php| archive-date = 30 November 2007| url-status = dead }}</ref> York was the base for Royalists, and from there they captured Leeds and [[Wakefield]] only to have them recaptured a few months later. The royalists won the [[Battle of Adwalton Moor]] meaning they controlled Yorkshire (with the exception of Hull). From their base in Hull the Parliamentarians ("Roundheads") fought back, re-taking Yorkshire town by town, until they won the [[Battle of Marston Moor]] and with it control of all of the [[North of England]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.british-civil-wars.co.uk/military/1644-york-march-marston-moor.htm|publisher=British-Civil-Wars.co.uk|title=The York March and Marston Moor|access-date=25 November 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090228033814/http://british-civil-wars.co.uk/military/1644-york-march-marston-moor.htm|archive-date=28 February 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref>
