A Parliamentarian general and politician, Lambert was second only in power to Cromwell, after the death of Ireton. He displayed great tactical and organisational skill during the civil wars and was a leading figure in attempts to redefine the constitution. Lambert was largely responsible for Oliver Cromwell's acceptance of the Protectorship in 1653. After the Restoration he was imprisoned on Guernsey, and was later moved to Drake's Island in Plymouth Sound, where he remained until his death.
