Major Mercer of the Worcestershire horse
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Major Mercer, the commander of the Worcestershire horse,[1] played a significant part in the Battle of Worcester in 1651,[2] but although mentioned in primary sources his full name is not given in them.[3] David Laing speculated that he was John Mercer the younger brother of William Mercer who was also a parliamentary officer and author of "Angliae Speculum, or England's looking-glass" (London 1646).[4][5]
