About Jane Ingleby
Jane Ingleby of Ripley Castle, also known as Trooper Jane, was an English recusant and, according to legend, a female soldier in the Battle of Marston Moor. Ingleby reportedly fought in battle during the English Civil War, dressed as a man in a full suit of armor. After retreating to Ripley Castle following the Royalists' loss at Marston Moor, she held Oliver Cromwell at gunpoint overnight in the castle library to prevent him from searching the house for her brother, Sir William Ingleby, 1st Baronet.
