The brief successor regime whose Richard Cromwell's hapless inheritance, army council chaos, and eighteen-month collapse made it the most ignominious and most instructive failure of republican government in British history.
Protectorate of England — the brief, faltering epilogue to Cromwell's republic in which Richard Cromwell inherited his father's title but none of his authority, the army that had made the Commonwealth possible turning on 'Tumbledown Dick' within months and forcing his resignation in 1659, leaving England in a constitutional vacuum that even the most committed republicans could not fill without the one man whose personality had held the whole experiment together. The nine months of the Rump's restoration, the army's fumbling interventions, and General Monck's decisive march from Scotland exposed the republic's fatal truth — that it had been one man's regime dressed in parliamentary clothing, and without Cromwell it was simply chaos with better paperwork.
