This article is in good shape. I have a few comments:

  • in the lead, suggest "They routed the much larger Royalist army"
  • "the carriages for his artillery waswere sent away"
  • in the lead and at first mention in the body, link counter-attack and ambush
  • in the lead, suggest "Chudleigh called for reinforcements from his infantry in Okehampton"
  • French cCatholic princess
  • "Charles I's father, King James I, had found himself" as this is in the past
  • link Parliament of England
  • commanded by the Earl of Essex
  • link Nottingham
  • and the Marquess of Hertford
  • "From theirthere Hopton and Hertford"
  • drop the comma from "Barnstaple, in north Devon"
  • link West Country
  • be consistent in hyphenating counter-attack (or not)
  • "Captain Christpher " is this the right spelling?
  • be consistent with the hyphenation of compass directions southwest vs south-west etc
  • Earwig indicates no concerns about copyvio

That's all I have, placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:02, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Peacemaker67: Thanks for the prompt review! I think I have addressed each point. A few embarrassing ones in there, I need to be more thorough in my self copy-editing, clearly. Hoping to get my hands on some local sources before bringing this to an A-class review. Harrias talk 13:31, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
No worries, a pleasure. This article is well-written, verifiable using reliable sources, covers the subject well, is neutral and stable, contains no plagiarism, and is illustrated by an appropriately licensed image with an appropriate caption.
