Taken in the final surrender at See also:Uttoxeter, he spent some time in captivity, but in 1649 was re-leased and sent abroad. He was unable for want of means to reach Montrose in time to join in the final venture of the noblest of the Royalist commanders, but he landed in Scotland on the See also:day before See also:Dunbar, and in the See also:grave crisis that followed was a welcome ally. As a See also:colonel and See also:adjutant-See also:general of See also:foot he was with Charles II. at See also:Worcester. In that See also:battle he was captured, but regained his See also:liberty, and after many adventures escaped to the See also:Continent, where for some years he was engaged in various Royalist intrigues, conspiracies and attempted insurrections.
