Answer

At the Battle of Bristol in 1645, Prince Rupert, a prominent Royalist commander during the English Civil War, surrendered to the Parliamentarian forces led by Lord Fairfax. This strategic defeat severely weakened the Royalist cause in the southwest of England and marked a significant turning point in the conflict, paving the way for the eventual victory of the Parliamentarians and the establishment of the Commonwealth of England.
