Cynhaliwyd '''Brwydr Stow-on-the-Wold''' yn ystod [[Rhyfel Cartref Lloegr]]. Ym [[1646]], roedd [[Siarl I, brenin Lloegr a'r Alban]] yn aflonyddu wrth geisio cadw'r byddinoedd at ei gilydd ac wrth aros ar gymorth rhyfel oddi wrth Iwerddon, yr Alban, a Ffrainc. Gorchmynnodd [[Sir Jacob Astley]] y byddinoedd, a dechreuodd gasglu'r byddinoedd garsiynau a oedd yn bodoli o hyd yn y gorllewin. Erbyn hyn, roedd morâl yn isel, ond roedd Astley, rhyfelwr profiadol, yn gallu dod â byddin o 3,000 at ei gilydd.
== Y brwydr ==
Roedd Astley yn ceisio cyrraedd [[Rhydychen]] gyda'i fyddin pan glywodd [[Senedd Lloegr]] amdano. O ganlyniad, roedd brwydr ar hyd [[Afon Avon (Swydd Warwick)|afon Avon]] wrth i Astley geisio efadu'r byddin arall. Yn y diwedd, nid oedd dim byd arall y gallai Astley wedi'i wneud ond stopio i ymladd y byddin Roundhead a arweiniwyd gan y [[Syr Thomas Morgan, barwnig 1af|Cyrnol Thomas Morgan]] a [[Syr William Brereton, barwnig 1af|Syr William Brereton]]. Dewisodd Astley fryn i'r gogledd-ddwyrain yn [[Stow-on-the-Wold]], sydd bellach ar bwys yr [[A424]].
<!--
The [[Roundhead]] forces (the Parliamentarians), who were slightly smaller, lined up to the northwest of Astley's position, also along the current route of the A424. The Roundheads, flush with the confidence of an army on the brink of total victory, charged up the hill at the Royalist positions, near the present day Greenfield Farm. Initially, the Royalists held and even pushed the Parliamentary infantry back. However, the Roundhead cavalry under Brereton rolled up the Royalist cavalry on the right flank. The Royalist cavalry fled the field and the infantry fought a running retreat southeasterly back to Stow Square.
Finally, Astley sat down on an ancient cross monument in the square and declared, "You have done your work, boys, and may go play, unless you will fall out among yourselves."<ref>Hastings citing C.V. Wedgewood [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=1_fwo9-URNEC&pg=PA135&lr=&as_brr=3#PPA135,M1 p. 135]</ref> This was a fitting end to the last major battle of the First Civil War from the man who was most quoted at the first major battle.<ref>For his prayer at the [[Battle of Edgehill]] "O Lord, Thou knowest how busy I must be this day. If I forget Thee, do not forget me." (Hastings p. 118)</ref>
In St. Edward's Church there is a monument to Sir Hastings Keyte, who was a Royalist Captain killed in the battle, aged 23. -->
