In the Third English Civil War, the Commonwealth was engaged in
a campaign against the Royalist alliance led by the self-proclaimed
Charles II in Scotland. The Battle of Inverkeithing was an
important victory for the Commonwealth forces. It was fought
between a Commonwealth army led by Major-General John Lambert, and
an army of Scottish Covenanters, who had signed an alliance with
Charles II. Lambert's victory gave Cromwell's army control of of
the Firth of Forth, a key strategic entry point into Scotland.
