The first siege of Carlisle was an important event of the 1745–1746 Jacobite rising. Jacobite forces loyal to Prince Charles Edward Stuart captured the city of Carlisle and Carlisle Castle on 14–15 November 1745.
According to the Chevalier de Johnstone, the Jacobites held their fire in case the defenders found out how small was the calibre of their guns.[2]
Siege of Basing House - Wikipedia
From the BCW project.The storm was brief and bloody, lasting less than two hours. The assault was led by the regiments of Pickering, Dalbier, Montagu and Sir Hardress Waller, attacking from different directions. There were too few defenders to withstand the massive strength of the New Model Army. The Royalists were quickly driven back from the outer defences to make a last stand at the gatehouse of the Old House. A call for a parley from the defenders was ignored by the enraged Parliamentarians. Civilians as well as soldiers were slaughtered in the assault, including a number of Catholic priests. Between one and two hundred defenders were killed, the rest taken prisoner. The Marquis of Winchester is said to have been captured whilst hiding in a bread-oven. The architect Inigo Jones, who was among the civilians at Basing, was carried out naked, wrapped in a blanket.
