After his death in 1658, who was the immediate successor to Oliver Cromwell, and what eventually happened to this successor?

McGruff

On his deathbed Cromwell may have designated his son, Richard, as his successor; Oliver died on 3 Sep 1658, and Richard was immediately proclaimed Lord Protector. http://lego70.tripod.com/england/cromwell1.htm 7 May 1659, declaration of the Parliament established "commonwealth without a king, single person, or house of lords", thus effectively terminating Richard's protectorship (Richard submitted to this resolution in a letter read in the Parliament on 25 May 1659). After his deposition, Richard Cromwell lived in Europe until he was allowed to return to England in 1680. http://lego70.tripod.com/england/cromwell1.htm Jan 26 04, 12:19 PM
