Royalist Army in Exile

The Royalist Army in Exile was the army formed by those loyal to Charles II from 1656 to 1660 during his exile from the throne. They were a mixture of Royalist troops from his three Kingdoms. It included men from England and Scotland, but the bulk were Catholics from Ireland, many of whom had previously served in the Irish Confederate armies.
