 * Lead
 * I'd actually consider it better to indicate that Byron was a Royalist directly when he's first mentioned in the lead, rather than implying it later in the sentence.
 * Changed to "Sir John Byron was escorting a Royalist convoy of valuables from Oxford to King Charles's army in Shrewsbury.." Harrias  talk 07:20, 8 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Sir John Byron's convoy
 * "Byron became aware of the proximity of the Parliamentarian army, and chose to seek refuge in Worcester on 16 September" - Is there a more specific reason why he chose that city? Did it provide advantages in some way?
 * No, it's just where he was. I have tried to make this a little clearer by saying "..in nearby Worcester.." Harrias  talk 07:20, 8 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Prelude
 * "Brown led a detachment of around 1,000 mounted troops, and they reached the area just south of Worcester on 22 September, and secured a bridge across the north–south flowing Severn." - This leads a bit run-on, with the two and clauses in there
 * Tweaked this to "Brown led a detachment of around 1,000 mounted troops which reached the area just south of Worcester on 22 September, and secured a bridge across the north–south flowing Severn." Is that sufficient, or do you think it needs to be properly split? Harrias  talk 07:20, 8 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Opposing forces
 * "cavarly" - Spelling is fun
 * Overrated. Corrected. Harrias  talk 07:20, 8 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Aftermath
 * "where they met Essex's Lifeguard" - Some context on what the Lifeguard was would be nice
 * Added a note on this. Harrias  talk 07:20, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * " The Puritan preacher, Hugh Peter gave a sermon" - Not sure that comma is needed
 * Yup, removed. Harrias  talk 07:20, 8 August 2020 (UTC)


 * References
 * I'm not super familiar with all of these publishers, but the sources all appear to be reasonably reliable for what they're cited for.

Nice little article. That's it, I think. Hog Farm Bacon 22:55, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
