Leslie, David, Lord Newark

    0.03 sec.

Leslie, David, Lord Newark (1601–1682)

Scottish soldier. As a lieutenant-general, he was at the Battle of Marston Moor (1644), routed Montrose at Philiphaugh (1645), and fought in the siege of Newark. He went over to the Royalist side but was taken prisoner in 1651 and was confined in the Tower of London until the Restoration (1660).

He was the fifth son of the 1st Lord Lindores. He took part in the Thirty Years' War, serving under Gustavus Adolphus. He returned to Scotland about 1640, at the time of the rise of the Covenanters against King Charles I. He joined troops under his kinsman, Alexander Leslie, Earl of Leven, who also went over to the king's side. After the Restoration he was created Lord Newark (1661).
