Henry Oxburgh

Henry Oxburgh later joined the Wild Geese who went into exile to enlist in the armies of Louis XIV in order to continue fighting for a Jacobite restoration.

[3] Following the inconclusive fighting at the Battle of Preston, and surrounded by the British Army with no help of reinforcement, Oxbrugh joined with Lord Widdrington in urging Forster to surrender.

[4] Because of his past acquaintance with the British commanders he believed he could secure more generous terms, potentially allowing the Jacobite garrison to march out with the honours of war.

Unknown to them Jacobite momentum in Scotland had been checked at the Battle of Sheriffmuir, and the rising would be crushed by the spring of the next year.

[7] After his execution he was buried at St Giles while his head was displayed on a spike at Temple Bar a traditional punishment for traitors.

Oxburgh was a supporter of the exiled James Stuart and took up arms to put him on the throne.
Oxburgh was executed at Tyburn, an event that led to a shift in the popular mood towards Jacobite prisoners.
