Many Royalists were slaughtered when they mistakenly followed what they thought was the main road to Leicester into the churchyard in the village of Marston Trussell, and were unable to escape their pursuers. In the aftermath of the battle, Parliamentarian troops reportedly killed at least 100 female camp followers and mutilated many others.[36] This was supposedly done in the belief they were Irish, though the women were probably Welsh whose language was mistaken for Irish.[37]
