Richard Cromwell (1626-1712), Lord Protector of England (1658-1659), born in Huntingdon. He was the third and eldest surviving son of Oliver Cromwell and was trained by his father to be his successor. After holding various governmental offices, he became Protector on his father's death. Finding himself incapable of coping with the struggle for power between the army and Parliament, he resigned after nine months. The restoration of King Charles II in 1660 caused Richard to take up residence abroad, but he returned to England in 1680.
