Friedrich Leopold von Gessler who led 20 squadrons of cuirassiers in the charge of Buddenbrock's cavalry was promoted to lieutenant general and received the order of the Black Eagle for his achievement at Chotusitz.
Sir Thomas obviously conducted himself satisfactorily in the campaign culminating in the Battle of Edgehill because an order from Prince Rupert in January 1643 refers to him as a colonel of a regiment of cuirassiers, and two days later on 19 January the King announced that he was sending Aston as a Major-General to Cheshire and Lancashire.
