field, he joined See also:Essex's See also:life-guard, was wounded at the first See also:battle of See also:Newbury, obtained a See also:regiment in 1644 and fought at See also:Naseby. He had already been appointed See also:receiver of the See also:court of wards, and in 1646 became member of See also:parliament for See also:Marlborough. In the dispute between the See also:army and parliament he played a See also:chief See also:part, and was said to have been the See also:principal author of the See also:plot to seize See also:- KING

King Charles at Holmby, but he did not participate in the king's trial. In 1649 he was appointed a See also:governor of the Isle of See also:Wight, and in 165o, as See also:lieutenant-See also:general of the See also:horse, took part in See also:Cromwell's See also:campaign in See also:Scotland and assisted in the victory of See also:Dunbar. The next See also:year he was elected a member of the See also:council of See also:state, and being recalled from Scotland was entrusted with the command of the forces in See also:England, and played a principal part in gaining thefinal See also:triumph at See also:Worcester. In 1652 he married' Cromwell's daughter, See also:Bridget, widow of See also:Ireton, and was made cominanderin-chief in See also:Ireland, to which See also:title that of See also:lord See also:deputy was added. The chief feature of his See also:administration, which lasted from See also:September 1652 till September 1655, was the See also:settlement, ofthe soldiers on the confiscated estates and the transplantation of the See also:original owners, which he carried out ruthlessly. He showed also great severity in the See also:prosecution of the See also:Roman See also:Catholic priests, and favoured the See also:Anabaptists and the extreme Puritan sects to the disadvantage of the moderate Presbyterians, exciting great and general discontent, a See also:petition being finally sent in for his recall.
Fleetwood was a strong and unswerving follower of Cromwell's policy. He supported his See also:assumption of the See also:protectorate and his dismissal of the parliaments. In See also:December 1654 he became a member of the council, and after his return to England in 1655 was appointed one of the See also:major-generals. He approved' of the " Petition and See also:Advice," only objecting to the conferring of the title of king on Cromwell; became a member of the new See also:House of Lords; and supported ardently Cromwell's See also:foreign policy in See also:Europe, based on religious divisions, and his See also:defence of the Protestants persecuted abroad. He was therefore, on Cromwell's See also:death, naturally regarded as a likely successor, and it is said that Cromwell had in fact so nominated him. He, however, gave his support to See also:Richard's assumption of See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, but allowed subsequently, if he did not instigate, petitions from the army demanding its See also:independence, and finally compelled Richard by force to dissolve parliament. His project of re-establishing Richard in See also:close dependence upon the army met with failure, and he was obliged to recall the See also:Long Parliament on the 6th of May 1659. He was appointed immediately a member of the See also:committee of safety and of the council of state, and one of the seven commissioners for the army, while on the 9th of See also:June he was nominated See also:commander-in-chief. In reality, however, his See also:power was undermined and was attacked by parliament, which on the nth of See also:October declared his See also:commission void. The next See also:day he assisted See also:Lambert in his See also:expulsion of the parliament and was reappointed commander-in-chief. On See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

Monk's approach from the See also:North, he stayed in See also:London and maintained See also:- ORDER

order. While hesitating with which party to ally his forces, and while on the point of making terms with the king, the army on the 24th of December restored the Rump, when he was deprived of his command and ordered to appear before parliament to See also:answer for his conduct. The Restoration therefore took See also:place without him. He was included among the twenty liable to penalties other than See also:capital, and was finally incapacitated from holding any office of See also:trust. His public career then closed, though he survived till the 4th of October 1692.
