"and preparing for battle". "battle" or 'war'? (An open question.)
I think either could be used, but "war" is probably better.

"after fleeing London" Optional: → 'after fleeing from London'.
The "from" seems redundant.

"Unlike the fractured state of Yorkshire" I'm not sure about "fractured". Maybe 'disputed', or 'unclear situation in' or similar?
Gone with "disputed" at the moment.

Is the size of Howard's force known?
No, frustratingly. It is commonly just recorded as a victory of 6,000 over 500 ish, but that is a false narrative; hence why I haven't included numbers in the infobox for this one.

"from where they could force a crossing by weakening the enemy defences around the bridge". "from where they could force a crossing" seems very PoV. Suggest 'from where they could weaken the enemy defences around the bridge'.
"He subsequently defeated a Parliamentarian force commanded by Fairfax at the Battle of Tadcaster." Is there a reason why you don't say when this took place?
Honestly? Because I apparently forgot to expand the Aftermath section when I went back over this article! I've added the date for Tadcaster for the time being, but will add more later.

Page range for Bleiberg & Soergel?
Added, and fixed link to where I originally found it. Looks like someone updated it on one of my articles, and I've been copying it around like this ever since. I think the link given should make it free to access, but could you confirm?
I do that fairly frequently. It is now open access.
