Monck, George, 1st duke of Albemarle (1608–70). Monck, a stolid and taciturn soldier, played a crucial part in bringing about the
Restoration of 1660. In the 1630s he was in the Dutch service but at the outbreak of the Civil War joined the king. After a year in Ireland fighting against the rebels, he was captured at
Nantwich in 1644. At the end of the war, he returned to Ireland on the parliamentary side, fought a difficult campaign, and was captured by royalist forces in 1649. When released,
Cromwell took him to Scotland, where he commanded the regiment that became the Coldstream Guards. On Cromwell's death, Monck's potential role as king‐maker was obvious to all. Monck marched his men across the Tweed, reopened negotiations with Charles II, effected his restoration, and met him on the beach at Dover. Next day he received the Garter and a week later his dukedom. He was again at sea in the second
Anglo‐Dutch War and served as a figurehead lord of the Treasury from 1667.
