^{page 41 note 2} Lord Mordaunt's letter to Lord Jermyn of 12/24 Sept. was written from Calais; Jermyn received it in Paris.

^{page 41 note 3} Lord Mordaunt intended to go to the King to report on the failure of the rising.

^{page 41 note 4} ‘Colonel’ should be ‘Captain’. Captain Thomas Cooke was sent by the Queen-Mother Henrietta Maria to communicate to the King Turenne's offers of help (Carte, , Ormonde, iii. 683Google Scholar). The reference here is to Lunsford's negotiations with Turenne, which were under the direction of Mordaunt (Carte, , Ormonde papers, ii. 230Google Scholar). The letters of Mordaunt to Lunsford of 10/20 and 12/24 Sept. have not been traced.

^{page 41 note 5} Sir Herbert Lunsford's ostensible business in England in Aug. 1659 was to raise recruits for service in Portugal. Portugal, left out of the Peace of the Pyrenees, needed more troops for carrying on the war with Spain. Assistance for her was encouraged by Turenne (Cal. C.S.P., iv. 359).Google Scholar

^{page 42 note 1} This letter is wrongly dated. The original, Carte MSS., vol. ccxiii, fo. 439, is dated 17/27 Oct. 1659; it was written from Calais, on the eve of Mordaunt's return to England (Cal. C.S.P., iv. 414).Google Scholar

^{page 42 note 3} In the Carte MS., after the word ‘breach’ is inserted ‘which was on the 23 of October’. The ‘breach’ was Lambert's expulsion of the parliament 13/23 Oct. 1659. In his letter to Hyde of 9/19 Oct. (infra, no. 92) Mordaunt had foretold a breach between the parties in England.

And, Sir, I most humbly beseech your Majestie to beleeve me one professes not reverence and duty to you in calme only, since my resignation to what God will determine of me is grounded on duty, religion and honour, and if I shipwrack here, I shall have the comfort of a secure haven hereafter.’ The letter then continues as in the Mordaunt MS., but adds a postscript, ‘N. Armorer will inform your Majestie of all particulars I have not time to write’. After the expulsion of the parliament, the Royalists in England urged Mordaunt to return (Cal. S.P. Dom., 1659–60, p. 256).Google Scholar

^{page 48 note 1} Vane's opposition to the proposed engagement against government by a single person, 3 Sept. 1659, gave rise to suspicion, but this suggestion is not supported by other evidence. Vane's temporary alliance with Lambert lacked clearly defined policy (Carte, , Ormonde papers, ii. 225Google Scholar; Guizot, , Richard Cromwell, i. 490–1).Google Scholar

^{page 48 note 2} Sir Arthur Hesilrige suspected Lambert of desiring to restore government by a single person. Hesilrige, a strong republican, approved the plan for a commonwealth in the Oceana (1656) by James Harrington, but not of the principle of rotation in it (Carte, , Ormonde papers, ii. 225Google Scholar). Hesilrige had purchased considerably, lands confiscated from the see of Durham. D.N.B.

He supported the army against the parliament in Oct.–Dec. 1659, and with the restoration of the parliament was imprisoned. D.N.B.

^{page 48 note 4} John Thurloe was out of office in Oct. 1659. There is no evidence that he was aiming at restoring monarchy. On 24 Oct. 1659 Mordaunt reported to Hyde that Thurloe and Vane were reconciled (infra, no. 96). Vane was opposed to the restoration of monarchy.

^{page 48 note 5} Oliver St. John (c. 1598–1673), chief justice; son of Oliver St. John of Cayshoe, Beds; M.P. for Totnes April 1640; Jan. 1641 solicitor-general; 1648 chief justice of common pleas; took no part in the trial of the King, but was a member of the council of state under the commonwealth and again in May 1659. He was suspected of wishing to restore Richard Cromwell, but Thurloe stated in 1660 that St. John had always been opposed to doing so (Thiurloe, , S.P., vii. 915)Google Scholar. D.N.B.

^{page 49 note 1} Colonel Robert Overton (c. 1609—date and place of death unknown), soldier; son of John Overton of Easington, Yorks; served in the parliamentarian army in the civil war and from July 1650 to Feb. 1653 in Scotland. From Jan. 1655 to 16 March 1658–59 he was imprisoned, untried, for suspected insubordination to the Protectorate, but was exonerated by the restored long parliament in 1659 and re-appointed governor of Hull. In the autumn of 1659 he main tained a neutral position between the army and the parliament. At the restoration he was imprisoned as dangerous as a Fifth-monarchist, and probably died in Jersey c. 1668 (Firth, , Regimental history, ii. 546–61Google Scholar). D.N.B.

^{page 49 note 3} Colonel Charles Fleetwood (d. 1692), parliamentarian; 3rd son of Sir Miles Fleetwood of Aldwinkle, Northants; fought in the parliamentarian armies in the first civil war; took no part in the trial of the King; 1652–55 commander-in-chief in Ireland; 1655 major-general for Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Oxon, Cambs, Hunts, Bucks, but acted by deputy; was opposed to the offer of the kingship to Cromwell, but sat in the Other House; 22 April 1659, with Desborough, forced Richard Cromwell to dissolve parliament; 9 June 1659 appointed commander-in-chief of the forces in England and Scotland, but without the power to name officers, this being done by the Speaker, on the recommendation of seven commissioners (The Clarke papers, iv (1901), 18Google Scholar); 24 Dec. 1659 he submitted1 to the parliament and lost his commands (Firth, , Regimental history, i. 99, 344Google Scholar); died 1692 (ibid., i. 101).

^{page 50 note 1} The Derby petition drawn up in Sept. 1659 by Lambert's officers was presented to parliament on 22 Sept. It demanded that Fleetwood should be commander-in-chief with Lambert as second in command. Fleetwood tried to justify the officers to the parliament which disapproved of the petition (Baker, , Chronicle, p. 577).Google Scholar
