Strength
Apparently the strength of each side was 1,000 horses. Were these a particularly warmongering breed, or were humans also involved? User name for this site (talk) 11:54, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That's "horse", no s. Definition 4 in Wiktionary: "(Military ...) Cavalry soldiers". Gog the Mild (talk) 12:55, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

"First" English Civil War
The attribute 'first' needs to be qualified in some way. There were several civil wars in England after the Norman Conquest and before the reign of the first King Charles. The war between Matilda and Stephen in the twelth century, and the War of the Roses in the fifteenth century were the longest and most devastating. Perhaps those two are being ruled out by a narrow interpretation of the word 'civil', being struggles between rival claimants to the throne. But then, such a narrowing of what constitutes a civil war cannot be used to exclude what happened in the thirteenth century in the circumstances surrounding the setting up of the very first parliament by Simon de Montfort and its eventual overthrow by Prince Edward. 80.189.252.211 (talk) 14:50, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Only one war is known in the sources as the "First English Civil War", and as Wikipedia is a tertiary source, we follow the sources, not what we may all agree is common sense. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:06, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
