INGOLDSBY [50] Richard IngoldsbYjC) Regicide, of Waldridge Manor, Bucks, 2nd s. of Sir Richard I., of Lenborough in the same co., K.B. (who was bm: 20 Dec. 1656), by Elizabeth, ist da. of Sir Oliver Cromwell,('') of Hinchinbroke, Hunts, by his ist wife, Elizabeth, da. of Sir Henry Bromley, Lord Chancellor of England. He was bap. 10 Aug. 1617, at Bucking- ham; ed. at Thame Grammar School, and admitted Gray's Inn 4 May 1638. He entered the Pari, army as Capt. in the regt. commanded by his first cousin, John Hampden, "the Patriot"; Col. of the loth regt. of Foot, in the "New Model," 1645; Gov. of Oxford 1649. He was one of the Judges app. for the King's trial, 6 Jan. 1648/9, but declined to act; he was, however, induced by Cromwell to sign the death-warrant, 29 Jan. 1648/9, though this was the only sitting he attended. M.P. for Wendover (in the Long Pari.) 4 Oct. 1647 to -° Apr. 1653; for Bucks 1654 and 1656-57; and for Aylesbury 1660 and 1661-81. Councillor of State 24 Nov. 1652.

[Second Narrative of the late Parliament). (*>) The only similar instance w^as that of the Barony of Burnell, conferred upon Edmund Dunch, of Little Wittenham, Berks, by patent, 26 Apr. 1658. It appears, however, that this peerage did not entitle the recipient (who was first cousin to Oliver Cromwell) to a seat in the " Other House." The Lord Protector intended to have conferred a Viscountcy upon Bulstrode Whitelocke, and the Bill for the patent was actually signed, 21 Aug. 1658; but, as Whitelocke himself informs us, " I did not think it convenient for me." See under Whitelocke, p. 647. ("=) Marmaduke Needham writes from Whitehall, 6/16 Jan. 1657/8: "My Lady Howard was broght abedd of a child of 7 months (this Ld. Howard was formerly Col. Howard) by which cawse he hath putt away his Lady. His younger brother Phil: Howard hath challenged for this my Ld. Bellasis (uncle to my Ld. Falconbridge) out of his bed, and running him through the hand upon a duell." (5. P. France, vol. cxiv, p. 7).

(«) Sir Oliver was uncle and godfather to Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector. He was a noted royalist, and Noble states that " the colours which he and his sons took from the parlement forces continued displayed in Ramsey Ciiurch during the whole of the grand rebellion, and remained there till within these fifty years."
