In August 1620, just a few months after his twenty-first birthday, Oliver Cromwell married Elizabeth Bourchier at St Giles’s church in Cripplegate, London. Elizabeth had been born in 1598, the eldest of twelve children (nine sons and three daughters) of Sir James Bourchier and his wife Frances, who was a daughter of Thomas Crane of Newton ...

Seu reinado, a partir de 1660, durou 25 anos. Foi sucedido em 1685 por seu irmão Jaime 2º, que procurou restabelecer o absolutismo e o catolicismo na Inglaterra. O fato de ser católico o afastava de ambas as facções do Parlamento e o conflito entre este e o rei se manifestou durante seus três anos de reinado.

Elizabeth lived under four Tudor monarchs and was married three times. By July 1530 [15] she had married Sir Anthony Ughtred, Governor of Jersey, who died in 1534. She then married Gregory Cromwell, 1st Baron Cromwell, the son of Thomas Cromwell, chief minister to Henry VIII in 1537, who died in 1551.
