Life in the UK Test 31
When Cromwell died, his son Richard became Lord Protector in his place but was not able to control the army or the government.
Correct Answer: True
True. When Oliver Cromwell died in 1658, his son Richard succeeded him as Lord Protector. However, Richard lacked his father's military reputation and political skill, and was unable to command the loyalty of the army or maintain control over Parliament.
Richard resigned after just nine months. The resulting political chaos paved the way for the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, when Charles II was invited to return from exile.
