He supported the army in its dispute with the See also:parliament, but he would take no See also:part in the trial of Charles I. Under the See also:government of the See also:commonwealth Denbigh was a member of the council of state, but his See also:loyalty to his former associates See also:grew lukewarm, and gradually he came to be regarded as a royalist.
