king and parliament and preferred See also:country pursuits and the care of his estates to See also:court or public life. Nevertheless when the See also:Civil See also:War See also:broke out in 1642, Lord Strange devoted himself to the king's cause. His See also:plan of securing Lancashire at the beginning and raising troops there, which promised success, was however discouraged by Charles, who was said to be jealous of his See also:power and royal lineage and who commanded his presence at See also:Nottingham. His subsequent attempts to recover the See also:county were unsuccessful. He was unable to get See also:possession of See also:Manchester, was defeated at Chowbent and Lowton See also:Moor, and in 1643 after gaining See also:Preston failed to take See also:Bolton and See also:Lancaster castles. Finally, after successfully beating off See also:Sir William Brereton's attack on See also:Warrington, he was defeated at See also:Whalley and withdrew to See also:York, Warrington in consequence surrendering to the enemy's forces. In See also:June he See also:left for the Isle of Man to attend to affairs there, and in the summer of 1644 he took part in See also:Prince See also:Rupert's successful See also:campaign in the north, when Lathom House, where See also:Lady Derby had heroically resisted the attacks of the besiegers, was relieved, and Bolton See also:Castle taken. He followed Rupert to See also:Marston Moor, and after the See also:complete defeat of Charles's cause in the north withdrew to the Isle of Man, where he held out for the king and offered an See also:asylum to royalist fugitives. His administration of the See also:island imitated that of See also:Strafford in See also:Ireland. It was strong rather than just. He maintained See also:- ORDER

church; but he crushed opposition by imprisoning his antagonists, and aroused a prolonged agitation by abolishing the See also:tenant-right and introducing leaseholds. In See also:July 164.9 he refused scornfully terms offered to him by See also:Ireton. By the See also:death of his father on the 29th of See also:September 1642 he had succeeded to the earldom, and on the 12th of January 165o he obtained the Garter. He was chosen by Charles II. to command the troops of Lancashire and Cheshire, and on the 15th of See also:August 1651 he landed at Wyre See also:Water in Lancashire in support of Charles's invasion, and met the king on the 17th. Proceeding to Warrington he failed to obtain the support of the Presbyterians through his refusal to take the See also:Covenant, and on the 25th was totally defeated at See also:Wigan, being severely wounded and escaping with difficulty. He joined
it
Charles at See also:Worcester; after the See also:battle on the 3rd of September he accompanied him to Boscobel, and while on his way north alone was captured near See also:Nantwich and given See also:quarter. He was tried by court-See also:martial at Chester on the 29th of September, and on the ground that he was a traitor and not a prisoner of war under the See also:act of parliament passed in the preceding See also:month, which declared those who corresponded with Charles guilty of See also:treason, his quarter was disallowed and he was condemned to death. When his See also:appeal for See also:pardon to parliament was rejected, though supported by See also:Cromwell, he endeavoured to See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape; but was recaptured and executed at Bolton on the 15th of See also:October 1651. He was buried in See also:Ormskirk church. Lord Derby was a man of deep religious feeling and of great See also:nobility of See also:character, who though unsuccessful in the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf.

field served the king's cause with single-minded purpose and without expectation of See also:reward. His political usefulness was handicapped in the later stages of the struggle by his dislike of the Scots, whom he regarded as guilty of the king's death and as unfit See also:instruments of the restoration. According to See also:Clarendon he was "a man of great See also:honour and clear courage," and his defects the result of too little knowledge of the See also:world. Lord Derby left in MS. " A Discourse concerning the See also:Government of the Isle of Man " (printed in the Stanley Papers and in F. See also:Peck's Desiderata Curiosa, vol. ii.) and several volumes of See also:historical collections, observations, devotions (Stanley Papers) and a See also:commonplace See also:book. He married on the 26th of June 1626 See also:Charlotte de la Tremoille (1599-1664), daughter of See also:Claude, duc de See also:Thouars, and granddaughter of William the Silent, prince of See also:Orange, by whom besides four daughters he had five sons, of whom the eldest, Charles (1628-1672), succeeded him as 8th earl.
Charles's two sons, William, the 9th earl (c. 1655-1702), and James, the loth earl (1664-1736), both died without sons, and consequently, when James died in See also:February 1736, his titles and estates passed to Sir Edward Stanley (1689-1776), a descendant of the 1st earl. From him the later earls were descended, the 12th earl (d. 1834) being his See also:grandson.
