About the Author
Stephen Ede-Borrett has had an enduring interest in the military history and the armies of the seventeenth century for as long as he can remember, an interest that led him to join the Sealed Knot at the age of fifteen. He first developed a specific interest in the Army of James II at the time of the tercentenary of the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1985 - an interest that has never abated. He is the author of Lostwithiel 1644 : The Campaign and the Battle, the first full-length study of the campaign, as well as numerous articles in The Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research, Arquebusier, and in many military history and wargames magazines on such varied subjects as the 'Drums of James II's Army' and the 'Colours of the Amsterdam Civic Guards in the 17th Century'; he has also edited new editions of the Letters of Neremiah Wharton, de Gomme's Account of the Storm of Bristol and the Iter Carolinum of Charles I. He is currently the Honorary Chairman of The Pike and Shot Society and a member of a number of historical societies and groups. His other major interests are movies, international cricket and superhero comics, oh and the cats that allow him and his partner Mary to share their home. He lives in what he considers to be the greatest city on the World - London. He says he isn't biased in that opinion.
