After the storming of Newcastle in October of 1644, General Alexander Leslie, 1st Earl of Leven returned with part of the Scottish army into Cumberland and besieged Carlisle. The garrison and the townsmen were put on short allowance by the end of February 1645, but although they suffered almost unparalleled problems, they held out till all hopes of relief had vanished by the fatal issue of the Battle of Naseby, and did not surrender till the 25 June 1645.
