sep 3, 1658 - The new result of Richard Cromwell

Description:

Richard Cromwell was given the position of Lord Protector after the death of his father, Oliver Cromwell, in September 1658. At the time, Richard was seen as the most likely successor to his father, due to his family connections and his role in government as a Member of Parliament. Additionally, Richard had some support from the military leaders who were crucial to the government's success.

However, it is also worth noting that Richard was not the unanimous choice to succeed his father as Lord Protector. Some members of the government favored other candidates, such as John Lambert
