- The Battle of Muster Green (also known as the Battle of Haywards Heath) was a minor battle of major significance that took place during the first week of December 1642 on and around the then much larger Muster Green in Haywards Heath during the first year of the First English Civil War. A Royalist army under Colonel Edward Ford, High Sheriff of Sussex, marching from Chichester to seize Lewes for the King encountered a smaller but more disciplined Parliamentarian army under Colonel Herbert Morley waiting for them on Muster Green. After Royalist musketeers fired "some" volleys, Morley's cavalry broke through the Royalist's advanced guard and, with the Parliamentarian infantry charging simultaneously, fought hand-to-hand; at least an hour of fighting ensued in which 200 Royalists were killed, wounded, or captured, resulting in the surviving Royalist forces routing and the Parliamentarians emerging victorious, saving Lewes from a Royalist assault, and pushing back Ford's 1642 Royalist invasion of Sussex. The battle site of the Battle of Muster Green became and remained the furthest any large Royalist force advanced through Sussex during the English Civil Wars. (en)
- La battaglia di Muster Green (detta anche battaglia di Haywards Heath) fu uno scontro che si svolse nella prima settimana di dicembre del 1642 presso , nel West Sussex, in Inghilterra. Essa fu parte della prima guerra civile inglese, contrapponendo Realisti e Parlamentaristi. Un esercito realista al comando del colonnello , , marciando da Chichester per assediare Lewes per conto di Carlo I d'Inghilterra, incontrò una piccola ma ben disciplinata armata parlamentarista comandata dal colonnello presso Muster Green. Dopo che i realisti ebbero sparato alcuni colpi a salve, la cavalleria di Morley ruppe le file dell'avanguardia realista e, con la fanteria che caricava simultaneamente, si tenne un combattimento corpo a corpo; dopo un'ora di combattimenti che portarono alla morte, al ferimento o alla prigionia 200 realisti, le forze rimanenti consegnarono la vittoria ai parlamentaristi, salvando Lewes dall'assalto delle forze del re, respingendo nel contempo l'invasione del Sussex da parte di Ford.
