Oliver Cromwell served as a Member of Parliament (MP) during the Long Parliament, which convened in November 1640. He became increasingly influential during the English Civil War, particularly after being elected to represent Huntingdon in 1640 and later serving as MP for Cambridgeshire. Cromwell's political career was marked by his strong Puritan beliefs and his leadership in the Parliamentarian cause against King Charles I. He eventually rose to prominence, becoming Lord Protector of England from 1653 until his death in 1658.
