for the King in Ireland, hut afterwards abandoned the royal
cause, and was present with Cromwell at Dunbar. He commanded
with Blake in the naval engagements with the Dutch.
At the decline of the Protectorate he became for a time arbiter
of the kingdom and its destiny, and decided in favour of the
Restoration. For these services he was rewarded in 1660 with
a dukedom and the Order of the Garter. In 1666 he defeated
the Dutch under De Ruyter, and died 8 Jan. 1670.
