The English Parliament 1640-53 and 1659-60,
which continued through the Civil War. After
the Royalists withdrew in 1642 and the
Presbyterian right was excluded in 1648, the
remaining Rump ruled England until expelled
by Oliver Cromwell in 1653. Reassembled
1659-60, the Long Parliament initiated the
negotiations for the restoration of the
monarchy.
