Best Answer

Prince Rupert had been sent by the King to end the siege of York. York was the most important royalist city in the North and was surrounded by a Parliamentarian army commanded by the Earls of Leven and Manchester.

Prince Rupert had orders from the King to free York and then march South to join him in Oxford.
