Firelock companies were raised throughout the Civil Wars for a variety of purposes. Originally formed to fight in the wild bogs of Ireland where a flintlock was more easily handled than the clumsy matchlock, firelock-armed musketeers grew more common as the Civil Wars progressed, and by mid to late war, whole companies were fielded - for the Royalists, Legge's who fought at Edgehill, Rupert's and Maurice's redcoats and Sandford's from Ireland. Parliament issued them liberally and many of the New Model Army had whole companies so armed, and later, whole regiments. The Scots Covenanter forces also used the firelock to good effect.
