By Katy PrickettBBC News, Cambridgeshire
The Women who " rose to the occasion and played a remarkable role in the Civil War" is the theme of an exhibition called The Weaker Vessel?

Mr Orme said: " Huntingdon was briefly captured by The Royalists in 1645 and every house had 20 to 30 soldiers billeted on them.
" These were people who might just have enough to see them through The Winter and The Soldiers would take all their food before they moved off. "
The Exhibition draws upon The Work of, which looks at petitions from veterans and their families for welfare payments as a result of their injuries or bereavement.
Mr Orme said: " This includes complaints about The Way women were treated by The Soldiers billeted on them - Theft , violence and rape were not uncommon. "

So The Exhibition features his younger daughters, Mary and Frances, who became the " Puritan princesses" after their father's elevation.
It also highlights, who ran a printing business, who was " unusual if not to say scandalous in the 17Th Century by being involved in public preaching" said Mr Orme.
She led a march of women on Parliament calling for their husbands to be freed, but Parliament told them to " concentrate on their washing up".
, who tried twice to free Charles I from Parliamentarian captivity.
At the same time, " women were accused of being at the root of what was Going Wrong in this period with a resurgence of witchcraft led by The Infamous deeply misogynistic Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins - 90% of those accused were women" He Said .
