In 1650, while the campaign in Ireland was still continuing, part of the New Model Army was transferred to Scotland to fight Scottish [[Covenanters]] at the start of the [[Third English Civil War]]. The Covenanters, who had been allied to the Parliament in the First English Civil War, had now crowned [[Charles II of England|Charles II]] as King. Despite being outnumbered, Cromwell led the Army to crushing victories over the Scots at the battles of [[battle of Dunbar (1650)|Dunbar]] and [[battle of Inverkeithing|Inverkeithing]]. Following the Scottish invasion of England led by Charles II, the New Model Army and local militia forces soundly defeated the Royalists at the [[Battle of Worcester]], the last [[pitched battle]] of the English Civil Wars.{{sfn|Fraser|2012|p=24}}
