Cromwell, Richard (1626–1712) Son of Oliver CROMWELL, whom he succeeded as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England 1658–59. He was more interested in country life than in politics and, incapable of reconciling the military and civilian factions in Parliament, he retired after a few months. At the RESTORATION he fled to the Continent, returning c.1680 to spend the rest of his life quietly in Hampshire.
