Charles Lucas

Portrait of Lucas Sir Charles Lucas (1613 — 28 August 1648) was a member of the landed gentry from Essex. A Royalist cavalry leader during the First English Civil War, in March 1646 he swore not to fight against Parliament again, but broke this promise when the Second English Civil War began in 1648. Lucas was executed following the Siege of Colchester in August 1648, and became a Royalist martyr after the 1660 Stuart Restoration.

Royalist statesman and historian Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, described Lucas as "rough, proud, uncultivated and morose", but "a gallant man to look upon and follow". Provided by Wikipedia
