Wednesday’s episode of Empire saw a kinder, gentler Cookie Taraji P. Henson – but only because she was successfully playing with everyone’s strings like the leopard print-wearing puppet master she is. While youngest son Hakeem (Bryshere Gray) still won’t give her the time of day, Cookie managed to gain one more client in Tiana (Serayah McNeill) Hakeem’s kind-of girlfriend, and orchestrate another in jailed rapper Titan (Jim Beans). Hakeem Oh, Hakeem. So spoiled. So simple. So Oedipal. Having been raised in the lap of luxury for his entire life, totally alienated from the culture that inspired his parents to make meaningful music, he’s still having difficulty writing anything worth anything. Before they could perform it at the Teen Choice Awards nominations concert (apparently that’s a thing), Tiana caught him cheating with Camilla (Naomi Campbell), the woman onto whom he is projecting all of his very many mommy issues. When Tiana’s voice rang out through Hakeem’s apartment while he and Camilla were in the bath, we were kind of hoping for a Friends -type scenario, where Camilla would hold her breath and hide under the water. Alas, Naomi Campbell gets her hair wet for no TV show. In the end, they managed to pull off performing “Keep It Movin’, ” because Tiana doesn’t care about Hakeem nearly as much she cares about music. “What I’m not cool with is you dissing your mother and showing up to soundcheck late, ” she scolded him. Good girl. Lucious After dropping Kid FoFo last week, Lucious needed a new act. Becky (Gabourey Sidibe) suggested Titan just before he landed himself in jail by shooting a drug dealer. Anika (Grace Gealey) was insistent that she could get Titan signed while he sat in jail, but that wasn’t really the job for a “bougie debutante, ” as Cookie so lovingly referred to her. Complicating matters further was the fact that Titan was signed under Beretti, who picked up Kid FoFo once Empire dropped him and who was the first to sign Lucious so many years ago. However, their working relationship did not end amicably – Beretti took credit for Lucious’s work, and Lucious left the label before it could ruin him. Baretti promised Lucious that if Empire ever goes public, he will bring him down. Later, we learn that Titan was raised in the Nation of Islam, and that the drug dealer he shot had burned down a community center. Wholly undeterred by Baretti’s threats, Lucious visited Titan in prison and promised to pay the $1.7 million to repair the community center – all Titan had to do was start recording for Empire on a phone that Lucious gave him. And he did. Also, Lucious finally revealed to Anika that he has ALS – and that the doctors told him that he has three years, at best. Jamal After cutting himself off from his father, Jamal is now living in a craphole in Bushwick.

But following research of archives from the period, and archaeological surveys, the Battlefields Trust made an application to EH for the site to be included, which has now been approved. Battle of Naseby (Alamy) Frank Baldwin, chairman of the trust, said: “These are the first battlefields to be registered in England since 1995 and shows that the register is a living document. “Over the last couple of decades, we have learned more about the battle. People have examined the evidence there and brought it to light. “We know more about it and where and why it was fought. Back then when the register was set up, there wasn’t an acceptance that there was more to be discovered. But this shows that the past isn’t fixed. Developments in scientific techniques - such as massively improved metal detecting - allow us to learn so much more than we could even 20 years ago.” Deborah Williams, from English Heritage, said: “The Lostwithiel campaign of 1644 was one of the most wide-ranging battles of the civil war, marking a turning point in the war by delivering a Royalist victory, thus prolonging the war for several more bloody years. “We are pleased that the significance of this decisive battle, to the south west and the nation, is recognised through designation. It is appropriate that such an important battle becomes the first addition to the list for some years.” Registration of battlefields does not mean they have statutory protection from developments, but does mean that their status must be considered in the planning process. The government’s National Planning Policy Framework says that development of historic battlefields should be ‘wholly exceptional’. Much archaeological work has centred on the village of Tywardreath, where thousands of items from the period have been discovered, including 4, 000 musket balls, 20 cannon balls, as well as buckles. Mr Baldwin said the landscapes on which the fighting occurred were well preserved and allowed for good understanding of how the battles were fought. He said there was the potential for much larger archaeological surveys in the area. Oliver Cromwell at The Battle of Marston Moor (Alamy) The fighting secured the south west for the Royalists and was a heavy blow for the Parliamentarians. The precise numbers of casualties are unknown. Contemporary reports of the battles suggest the fighting on August 31 1644 - when the Parliamentarian cavalry broke through the Royalist lines - there were no more than 200 killed or taken prisoner on both sides. Other accounts suggest Parliamentarian losses may have been around 500 on that day. Losses on the King’s side are likely to have been significantly less. Although the 6, 000 infantry who surrendered were allowed to go free - because the King’s side did not have the ability to keep prisoners - all their weapons were taken and they were finished as military force. The disarmed soldiers marched eastward back to their own strongholds, in continuing bad weather, being continually robbed and threatened by locals. About 1, 000 are said to have died of exposure and hunger, while a further 1, 000 deserted or fell sick. However, the battles were the last major victories for the Royalists. They came at a time when Oliver Cromwell was emerging as the most powerful figure on the Parliamentarian side and just before the creation of the New Model Army, a more professional force which would secure his side’s ultimate victory over the Royalists. Some Civil War clashes First pitched battle of the war. Both armies numbered around 15, 000. Deaths are put at 1, 000, with up to 3, 000 wounded.
