PreludeFairfax and the New Model Army, after reducing Bridgwater, had turned back to clear away the Dorsetshire Clubmen and to besiege Sherborne Castle. On the completion of this task, it had been decided to besiege Bristol.{{sfn|Atkinson|1911|loc=41. Fall of Bristol}} SiegeOn 23 August 1645 the New Model Army invested Bristol.{{sfn|Atkinson|1911|loc=41. Fall of Bristol}} On the night of 9/10 September, Fairfax's army stormed Bristol. Prince Rupert had long realised the hopelessness of further fighting, the very summons to surrender sent in by Fairfax placed the fate of Bristol on the political issue, the lines of defence around the place were too extensive for his small force, and on 10 September he surrendered Bristol on terms. He was escorted to Oxford with his men, conversing as he rode with the officers of the escort about peace and the future of his adopted country.{{sfn|Atkinson|1911|loc=41. Fall of Bristol}} AftermathKing Charles I, almost stunned by the suddenness of the catastrophic loss of Bristol, dismissed Rupert (his nephew) from all his offices and ordered him to leave England. The fall of Bristol meant that Chester was the only important seaport remaining to connect the English Royalists with Ireland.{{sfn|Atkinson|1911|loc=41. Fall of Bristol}} Notes
