king in June 1649, being employed in the See also:settlement of the See also:west of See also:England. He fought at See also:Worcester as major-See also:general and nearly captured See also:Charles II. near See also:Salisbury. After the See also:establishment of the See also:Commonwealth he was chosen, on the 17th of See also:January 1652, a member of the See also:committee for legal reforms. In 1653 he became a member of the See also:Protectorate See also:council of See also:state, and a See also:commissioner of the See also:treasury, and was appointed one of the four generals at See also:sea and a commissioner for the See also:army and See also:navy. In 1654 he was made See also:- CONSTABLE (0. Fr. connestable, Fr. connetable, Med. Lat. comestabilis, conestabilis, constabularius, from the Lat. comes stabuli, count of the stable)

constable of St Briavel's See also:Castle in See also:Gloucester-See also:shire. Next See also:year he was appointed major-general over the west. He had been nominated a member of Barebones' See also:parliament in 1653, and he was returned to the parliament of 1654 for Cambridgeshire, and to that of 1656 for See also:Somersetshire. In July 1657 he became a member of the privy council, and in 1658 he accepted a seat in Cromwell's See also:House of Lords. In spite of his near relationship to the Protector's See also:family, he was one of the most violent opponents of the See also:assumption by Cromwell of the royal See also:title, and after the Protector's See also:death, instead of supporting the interests and See also:government of his See also:nephew See also:Richard Cromwell, he was, with See also:Fleetwood, the See also:chief instigator and organizer of the hostility of the army towards his See also:administration, and forced him by threats and menaces to dissolve his parliament in See also:April 1659. He was chosen a member of the council of state by the restored Rump, and made colonel and See also:governor of See also:Plymouth, but presenting with other See also:officers a seditious See also:petition from the army council, on the 5th of See also:October, was about a See also:week later dismissed. After the See also:expulsion of the Rump by Fleetwood on the 13th of
October he was chosen by the officers a member of the new administration and See also:commissary-general of the horse. The new military government, however, rested on no solid See also:foundation, and its leaders quickly found themselves without any See also:influence. Desborough himself became an See also:object of ridicule, his See also:regiment even revolted against him, and on the return of the Rump he was.ordered to quit See also:London. At the restoration he was excluded from the See also:act of See also:indemnity but not included in the clause of pains and penalties extending to See also:life and goods, being therefore only incapacitated from public employment. Soon afterwards he was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to kill the king and See also:queen, but was quickly liberated. Subsequently he escaped to See also:- HOLLAND

Holland, where he engaged in republican intrigues. Accordingly he was ordered See also:home, in April 1666, on See also:pain of incurring the See also:charge of See also:treason, and obeying was imprisoned in the See also:Tower till See also:February 1667, when he was examined before the council and set See also:free. Desborough died in 1680. By his first wife, Cromwell's sister, he had one daughter and seven sons; he married a second wife in April 1658 whose name is unrecorded. Desborough was a See also:good soldier and nothing more; and his only conception of government was by force and by the army.
