 Legge's attachment to Prince Rupert led to his removal from command when the prince was disgraced for his hasty surrender of Bristol.When the king returned to Oxford Legge was released, and acted again to serve the king as his Groom of the Bedchamber; he used the opportunity to try to heal the breach with Rupert, and urged the prince to submit to the king.After the fall of Oxford, Legge went abroad, returning to England about July 1647 to wait on the king, then in the custody of the army.
