# Talk:Siege of Hull (1642)

This article has the title, "Siege of Hull" but doesn't say anything about a siege. It says that John Hotham seized the city and made himself Military Governor. When the king turned up he was refused entry, twice. But the article doesn't say anything about a siege. Who was beseiging the city; when did the siege start; when did it end; why did it end. Basic questions an article about a siege should answer. Thank you. Cottonshirtτ 20:09, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Having read this Good Article, I have incorporated some relevant information into the article on Lord Lindsey, which up till now lacked mention of his involvement in this siege and whose account of his Civil War experience is somewhat monopolised by his participation in the Battle of Edgehill later in 1642 that led to his death. To the best of my ability I have today added the citations used into it. However, I invite especially users who contributed to this present article to look at what I have put in Lindsey's article and make any corrections or rephrases necessary and also check if the information I use is supported by the citations I added.Cloptonson (talk) 20:19, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
