The battle of Reading (also known as the battle of Broad Street, Reading Skirmish or Reading Fight) took place on 9 December 1688 in Reading, Berkshire during the Glorious Revolution. Dutch States Army dragoons, led by Hans Bentinck and supported by Williamite civilians, routed an Irish Army detachment under Patrick Sarsfield from the town in one of only two substantial battles fought in England during the Glorious Revolution. The engagement was celebrated in Reading for many years afterwards.[1]
