Battle of Kings Norton The battle of Kings Norton was fought on 17 October 1642 . The Parliamentarian s won the skirmish , which developed out of a chance encounter between Royalist s under the command of Prince Rupert and Parliamentarians under the command of Lord Willoughby of Parham . Both forces had been on their way to join their respective armies which were destined to meet at Edgehill in the first pitched battle of the English Civil War , and after the skirmish both proceeded to join their respective armies . Prelude . On Monday 17 October 1642 King Charles I was marching south through Birmingham . While passing through the town some of the Royal carriages were pillaged and the contents sent to Warwick Castle a parliamentary stronghold . Rupert , whose soldiers had been cantoned in Stourbridge after Rupert ' s victory at the Battle of Powick Bridge during his successful expedition to Worcester in September , left the town on 17 October to join Charles with 9 troops of horse and about 300 foot . If any reliance is to be placed on one surviving tract of the encounter , Rupert ' s march crossed the path of a Parliamentary party under the command of Lord Willoughby of Parham on his way to Join the Earl of Essex ' s parliamentary army . Battle . Lord Willoughby who was in command of about 800 horse and foot met Prince Rupert somewhere between Stourbridge and Birmingham probably in the Kings Norton area . The resulting battle was " very fierce and cruel " . It was the Royalists who disengaged having lost between 50 and 80 killed with twenty taken prisoner . The Roundhead s kept possession of the battlefield and lost between seventeen and twenty men . Aftermath . Both parties continued on to their destinations : Rupert joined King Charles , while Lord Willoughby joined Essex . The historian J . W . Willis - Bund speculated that it may have been Willoughby who provided the information on Rupert ' s ( and the King ' s ) movements , which lead Essex to move his army towards Worcester on 19 October .
