After the English Civil War and the execution of King Charles I in 1649, the UK became the 'Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland'. The head of state had the title of 'Lord Protector of the Commonwealth'. The first Lord Protector was Oliver Cromwell who ruled from Dec-1653 until his death in Sep-1658. He was succeeded by his son, Richard Cromwell, until his resignation in May 1659. Richard was the last Lord Protector with his rule been followed by chaos until the Commonwealth was formally dissolved with the restoration of the monarchy, in May 1660.
Oliver Cromwell led England during the Interregnum, from 1649 to 1658, following the execution of King Charles I. He established the Commonwealth, a republican form of government, and later assumed the title of Lord Protector. Cromwell's reign was marked by military campaigns, religious reforms, and strict Puritanical policies, which aimed to promote moral conduct but also led to social discontent. His leadership ultimately laid the groundwork for the eventual restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
